♪ ♪ >> Cathy: ALL RIGHT, WE NOW TURN OUR ATTENTION UP TO DULUTH, FOR OUR INDEX FILE QUESTION.

LAST WEEK ERIC ASKED ABOUT AN EAGLE SCOUT THAT HAD BEEN SLEEPING OUTSIDE FOR A LONG STRETCH OF DAYS.

NIGHTS.

OUR QUESTION FOR YOU WAS: WHO IS THIS OUTDOORSY MYSTERY MINNESOTAN, AND WHAT WAS HIS FINAL NUMBER OF DAYS SLEEPING IN THE GREAT OUTDOORS?

BONUS IF YOU KNOW THE DATE OF HIS FINAL NIGHT OF THE STREAK.

A FEW OF YOU CALLERS SEEMED FAMILIAR WITH THE STORY, BUT SOME LANDED OUTSIDE THE MARK.

>> Cathy: I LOVE FRITZ IN SLEEPY, EYE.

YES, YOU'RE RIGHT, FRITZ, ISAAC ORTMAN IS THE MYSTERY MINNESOTAN, BUT... HIS OUTSIDE STREAK ACTUALLY EXTENDED BEYOND THOSE THREE YEARS.

SO TAKE YOUR GUESSES IN TERMS OF HOW LONG THAT AS AND GET BACK TO US.

651-229-1430 IS THE NUMBER TO CALL WITH ALL YOUR GUESSES, RIGHT OR WRONG.

YOU CAN ALSO DROP US A NOTE.
