| My first glimpse of dawn...as the train approaches the station in Devils Lake. |
Summer 2009...I was getting ready to return to my home country after 2 years of studies in Florida. Because of my love for Amtrak, I've decided to treat myself to another train journey....this time, cross-continental...from DC to Los Angeles. As I looked up the list of possible towns/cities I could stop by along the way, the name Devils Lake caught my eyes.
Devils Lake?!!! Hmmm....spooky....
I read the description on Amtrak's guide regarding Devils Lake...
The Indians called this remnant of a glacial sea the “Evil Spirit Lake” because they believed its shattered walls and loose rocks were the result of a mammoth struggle between thunderbirds and water monsters...Ah...how interesting!!!
I did more research on the Internet and found beautiful, breathtaking pictures of Devils Lake... I was captivated! That's it....Devil's Lake would be one of my stops.
I was there for about 24 hours only...but in that 24 hours I discovered so much about Devils Lake that it remained till today, one of my favorite destinations. More than just a beautiful tourist spot, I learned that Devils Lake is a place that's rich in history...
Getting there....
I went there by train, so naturally, I'll recommend the same for the rest of you :)
The train station is strategically located in the city itself. It's within walking distance to most of the must-see historical sites such as the Old Post Office Museum and the Heritage House Museum.
