The day was overcast and drizzly; it was hard to see where the sky stopped and the water began. But trust me, it was beautiful. It is a reservoir in the Missouri River basin in central North Dakota. Named for the Shoshone-Hidatsa woman Sakakawea, it is the third largest man-made lake in the United States, after Lake Mead and Lake Powell. The lake lies in parts of six counties in western North Dakota: Dunn, McKenzie, McLean, Mercer, Mountrail, and Williams.It is located about 50 miles from Bismarck, North Dakota.
I don't know what part of this huge lake you are at, but the rig Garrett is working on is up in that area. His man camp is in Stanley, ND. Just think, only another 9 hours east and you'd be at our house!...ONLY 9 hours! :)
