The park ranger here used to live in Lancaster.

If you say you're in Chicago, and I say "I was there once too!"; no big deal. The same could be said of Austin, Tucson, and New Orleans. Heck, it isn't even shocking if it were, Des Moines, Topeka or Dubuque, but when we both have a common visit to Devil"s Lake North Dakota, well that's just spooky. <br /><br />The Devil's Lake Sioux had an Indian Reservation near the town of Devil's Lake. Brunswick, the company that I worked for, had a joint venture with the tribe to manufacture camouflage netting. This at the time was the biggest industry on the reservation, before the proliferation of Indian Casinos. At any rate, for about a year I was the liaison between the tribe's accountant, and the corporate accountants in Chicago. Made a number of trips there. Didn't get to visit it the way you are, but I still enjoyed being there. Looking at my Atlas it looks like it is now called Spirit Lake Reservation. Really!?! It was only 40 years ago that I was going out there, does everything have to change?<br /><br />Regarding your thorough knowledge of the geology of the Devil's Lake Region. Yes, I'm sure the park brochure helped, but I like to think that it just supplemented a solid Big Ten educational foundation.
