Its hard to believe you can find scenery like this in the heart of North Dakota. The lakeshore is very pretty because the Missouri River has cut so deep into the land creating beautiful hills all along the "lake". Fishing has been tough close to the resort. Many fishermen are taking their boats 20 or 30 miles up the road to some warmer waters. They have been pulling out really nice walleyes. We don't want to go because its 3 miles of washboard gravel road before you get to the highway. The boat takes such a beating traveling across country that we just don't want to subject it to more abuse. They tell us that by July the fish come down river closer to the resort and then the fishing here will be on fire. Can't wait!
We drove to Minot -- about 80 miles one way - to hit the Walmart. I had to get my Walmart fix. We've been exploring more and more of the lake but there is still so much more to explore. We don't dare go too far when there is a chance of the wind kicking up because the waves get to dangerous. The water is still rising -- there is still so much snow in the mountains that the snow gauges are still buried.
