DULUTH - Craig Friebe’s wife says her husband was still “defrosting” as recently as yesterday. Becky Friebe says he was still in a lot of pain, but in good spirits in a Duluth hospital.
The Superior man was riding his snowmobile in subzero temperatures last weekend when he ran out of gas. He had to spend two nights in the forest on the Wisconsin-Minnesota border in temperatures of 15 degrees below zero or colder. He started walking from the Nemadji river trying to find his way back to civilization, reaching a bridge Monday morning. Friebe waited there until a snowplow came by.
He and his wife are sharing their stories online at the website: CaringBridge.com.
