Before escaping to Alaska we were thinking of moving to Devils lake ND, wife has family there and we found a great deal on an abandoned farm. Without regret i still wonder what it would have been like. Ever been to the Devils lake area jbelile?


Well popsicle you would have had great rat trapping great coyote trapping and some awesome fishing and duck hunting.

Depends on when it was and where the farm is located. Might be underwater now, hundreds of square miles of farmland are now on the bottom of devils lake. Great fishing though, I have been there many times.

Lived there 1976-77. Radio station gave out buttons that said "we live here because we like it here"

Friendliest people that I have ever met ! Still tell stories about the cold-looks like it is the same
