[QUOTE="sl1000794, post: 271198, member: 6974"] Sixty years ago on Saturday, October 10, 1959 four of us from Botno went duck hunting in the Gardena/Kramer area and got caught in a snow storm just like this one. The 4 of us and 5 guys from Minot ended up snowed-in at a bachelor farmer's house. He was preparing to leave for Arizona the next week and had cut off his phone service and had hardly any food. (We had ducks we could have cleaned and cooked, but we played penny ante poker instead and ate soup dunked with dried bread.) We walked 3/4 mile in the blizzard to the closest farm to call our folks and spent Saturday night at his farm house. Highway 5 west from Botno was closed on Saturday afternoon. My cousin and his fiancee had come to the Court House from Westhope to get their marriage license. They had to stay with my folks while we stayed with the farmer and the guys from Minot.
