No bugs, hard water, no mud, wood splits better. And we have good coyotes. And that right there is the main thing of importance!

There has to be some kind of mental defect that keeps people living here in January. I have taken some serious blows to the head over the years, so it could be brain damage in my case, but what about the other 700,000 people that live here? Looks like a balmy day Saturday.

Ive only been in the interior now for 3 years but i like it...we havnt hit -50 too many times lol but -20 is fairly average and i find it kind of refreshing.. Sip my coffee on the porch at -20. My one complaint is my garage is still a bit too cold to turn wrenches and tinker.. At any rate ill take the cold over the constant grey skies an rain of western Oregon. Cant stand the rain all the time... 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.

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.

The bright side, you can ice fish in April! That's one hundred percent right, maybe even into May.
