Enjoying Devils Lake

I am adding a couple of new posts to the Devils Lake camping trip that Karen and I took in August of 2008. That was our last camping trip together so I want to chronicle the time we had. I mentioned in the previous post that the road to the town of Devils Lake was approaching the flood stage. As we speak now in the spring of 2010, the road (Highway 19) did get completely under water. Many more thousands of acres of farm land also was flooded.

Whenever we left the campground for a side trip, the deer of the area were always there to meet us upon our return.



The week that we were there, the Cabela's Walley Tournament was just starting. I have always fancied myself as being in such a tournament, but after seeing all the crowds and politics involved, I will be satisfied to take my little aluminum boat out by myself.

As the water rises on Devils Lake, it claims more and more trees along the shore line. Here, my beautiful wife waits for the water to rise. Now, she has risen to heights far above any flood stage.
