Regarding the author of last week’s letter to the editor concerning the gravel shoulders on the Gunflint Trail, shame on you!
I have lived on the Gunflint Trail for 21 years and can tell you that there most definitely was gravel on the road and shoulders of the trail in many locations which we residents had talked about both before and after the accident that occurred last fall.
Many of us experienced Gunflint Trail drivers had discussed the soft shoulders and how they attempted to pull us off the road. To dismiss this as untrue is insulting.
How I wish I had taken pictures.
It seems a very real possibility, based on our own driving experiences, that the new gravel could have indeed been one of the many factors in the aforementioned accident, but we will never really know as no one was actually there when this young woman tragically lost her life.
