END OF THE ROAD


This USED to be the road I took on the way to work at the junction of 19 and 281 north of Minnewauken, ND.  Now my road is totally under water and there's no sign of the junction I loved so well.  Sigh.
This is a photo of the end of my road, blocked by a little dike and the big water behind it.  To get to my junction, which alas IS NO MORE, you have to take the long way around.  The town of Minnewauken lies mostly behind me and to the left from where I took this photo.  A bait shop, now almost literally on the lakeshore, would be just to my right and slightly behind me.  I was very glad to see it still there.

The last time I went to my junction I could at least still FIND it. 
This time if there's the slightest sign of it on the north end I never saw it, and I was looking.  I swear 'Devils Lake' is the most appropriate name ever for this place. 

The blasted lake SWALLOWED my junction.

Dammit anyhow.
