The highway home from Treasure Island

Minnesota · USA · Road

The account is not about the casino itself but about the drive home from it, along Highway 18 beside the Mississippi, an hour or so from Minneapolis.

A man was returning alone after midnight. He was tired enough that he pulled onto the shoulder to sleep for a few minutes.

Shortly after he closed his eyes, something happened at the car.

The road runs through the river valley on land that has been Dakota country for far longer than it has been anything else, and the casino itself is operated by the Prairie Island Indian Community, whose reservation sits on that stretch of the river.

What is reported here belongs to the highway rather than to the building, and it is the sort of account that only ever comes from someone who stopped where nobody normally stops.
