Dec. 26, 2011 the Tri-State Diving Crew consisting of Ryan Tangan, Tom Erickson, Tyler Erickson, Landon Usher and Seal ventured down to Prairie Lake by Pelican Rapids to remove an ATV. The owner had to be rescued by the Pelican Rapids fire department when he and his ATV fell through the ice. When we arrived he was not sure of the exact location as it was dark when he went through the ice. All he could do was give us a general direction of were he went through the ice. As we were walking out we could see something the on ice off in the distance. It was a glove that belonged to his friend that had been with him on another ATV and had dropped it on the ice while waiting to be rescued. Our fear was that we would have to spend a great deal of time searching for the ATV but this made the job go faster as then we could seen rough ice where he had dropped in. We had it floating, lifted out, and back to shore in about two hours.
