	Au Sable students all have stories to tell about their experiences in the North Woods. &nbsp;For some, the simple act of getting to or leaving Au Sable is adventure enough, like the student who for some reason turned off the paved road and onto a pipe line and got stuck. &nbsp;But perhaps the most remarkable travel story is one I&rsquo;ll call the Mis-adventures of Hansel and Gretel.</p>

	Most Midwesterners know that if you miss a turn at an intersection, you simply drive one more mile to the next intersection where you make your turn and get back on track. &nbsp;However, that rule does not apply in Northern Michigan as a car load of J-Term students discovered when they approached Au Sable one dark and snowy January night. &nbsp;After missing the turn onto Blue Lake Road, as the map directed, they continued one mile to Kenel Road without realizing that the county only plowed that road as far as Minnie Kenel&rsquo;s house. &nbsp;Beyond Minnie&rsquo;s place, the unplowed road was heavily used by snowmobiles, which compact the snow making it appear to be plowed, that is until the weight of a car causes the tires to break through the snow effectively entombing the vehicle until the Spring thaw. &nbsp;Fortunately for these students, they bogged down not far from Minnie&rsquo;s house and since her lights were still on, they trudged to her door and asked for help.</p>
