We had a great time in Devils Lake. Here's a photo of the whole crew. From left to right: Dave Boeckermann, myself, Starla Atkinson, Ellie Boeckermann, Lorrie Wnuk, Jodi Calkins, Dave (Makita) Cox, Dick Calkins, Robin Kaiser (has some photo complex and always covers her face) and Dale Kaiser.
The night started out with us arriving in Staples at 8pm. Our train was scheduled to leave at 1:42am....so we had some time to kill (more like brain cells to murder). We closed down our new favorite hangout "Twisted Sisters". Ellie's pictured here playing pool.
When we arrived at the train depot we discovered the train was running 90 minutes late. So we took advantage of this time to have a little snack, some more drinks and to play a little 500. We were the only people in the depot. It's kind of a scary place. It's "under renovation" and creepy. But we made the best of it. When we arrived in Devils Lake we were greeted by their fresh new snow fall of 18 inches.
The big surprise was that my sister Lorrie and her friend Starla drove all the way from Wyoming to join us. Only Dave and Ellie Boeckermann knew they were coming so it was a huge surprise to all of us. Lorrie took over lunch duties and cooked in her new Amtrak apron and chef's cap that Ellie had bought.We didn't get out on the ice the first day because of the high winds....so we made the best of it.
On Saturday we did get out fishing. We didn't catch much (only two all day) but we had a blast. Lorrie was again our cook! It was an awesome fun time.
