But, today we're at Burger King using the Whopper Wifi so I'll try to get you caught up on what we've been up to.
I'd hoped to post a lot of pictures, but for some reason my phone isn't cooperating with the Whopper Wifi so we'll see if the rest of the pictures show up before I get finished here.
So...Devil's Lake. Very nice area and the views of the lake are spectacular. On our way each morning and afternoon we drive over a levee with the lake on either side of us for about 4 miles, which I really enjoy. Sometimes the sun is glinting off the water and other times the clouds are angry, but I love the look either way.
Too bad we aren't into fishing, because there's a lot of that happening on Devil's Lake.
We've visited several towns in the area---many nearly 100 miles each way, so lots of time in the car. We get paid mileage, so that's been a nice bonus for the end of the season.
The fall here has been beautiful and we've seen eagles, coyotes and a jack rabbit the size of a cocker spaniel. Chris didn't see the jack rabbit, so he's skeptical of my report, but a local confirmed that they have giant jack rabbits around here. We have yet to see the elusive Jackalope.
I posted some pictures on Instagram so if you're following me there, you've probably seen some of these.
The frog slide at the kiddie pool in Cavalier, ND.
Also in Cavalier, I met a nice man who offered us apples from his tree (not code). He said his wife has MS and he doesn't bake, so I made him a dutch apple pie (and one for us). Soooo good.
We also visited Sully's Hill National Game Preserve. My pictures didn't get transferred yet, so just go to this link and see the professional photos. We were out for a drive and saw the sign. What a nice surprise and only a few miles away. Click here.
I think some of you have had more snow than we've had in ND, but we are still eager to get done here and be on our way. We're not sure how much longer that will be. The amount of work that remains to be done will take the two of us 2-3 weeks, maybe more if we have rain days. But, we think that others will be coming here as they finish up their assignments. If that happens soon then we hope to be out of here in two weeks or less.
After that...who knows? We've been told that it's possible we'd be going to the Houston area, but since these things tend to change on a day by day basis, I don't expect that we'll know for sure until we start the engine.
I'm disappointed that I haven't been able to get all the pictures transferred from my phone. Once I get that working, I'll post again.
