Last night we got to enjoy a sunset by boat on Lake Sakakawea. Mike Retsin one of our seasonal campers asked if Nancy & I and Paul & Mary would like to go out on the lake for the sunset. Of course we said yes the lake was pretty calm as we had not had much wind yesterday. It was a very enjoyable evening. One does not realise how huge this lake is until you go out on it especially in the evening. Lake Sakakwea is about 80 miles long and up to 5 miles wide and 150 deep in the old river channel. They say if it were drained it would cover the state of North Dakota with 6 inches of water.
