Description

"Prairie Sentinel" (plus variations - search by same name)
I stumbled upon this long-abandoned elevator SE of Cando on a sunny warm late August day a few years back when I was running an errand with my Dad at the Cando Farmers Co-op. I ventured back to shoot it again last week in different conditions (understatement!). The gravel road getting there was covered in glossy ice so slippery that I couldn't stand up on it, and it blew the car sideways (luckily I was going very slowly). The funniest part of this was that Google Maps, to save a mile or two, was trying to direct me down several section-line grass-rut roads that were 2' deep in snow and barely passable in SUMMER conditions, and I took the bait like a fool, and had to backtrack! I guess I've been away from ND too long! I'll include the earlier autumn image for comparison.
