Camels Hump Lake, North Dakota

 Along interstate 94 between Medora and Beach you see a sign for Camels Hump Lake, in close secession you past a pond by the side of the interstate. If you exit rather than pass it bye the pond grows larger, still a stretch as a lake, it is in fact a dammed up river. Camels Hump lake has several neglected picnic tables that would be an ideal spot for a picnic if the timing was so. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and it was calm with only a few fishers sharing the lake with us. Lots of space to move around, explore and skip rocks.

Just across from the public entrance another perhaps even more interesting oddity lays a farmers metal graveyard, completed with a hill of old soda cans and numerous tractor and machinery parts

If you are thinking about moving to ND from a larger population center this article should give you a good taste of how our community perceives the outside world.

Medora teen in NY to share 'stupid' trick

When Ashley Ellison, 16, Medora, found out she could whistle through her eye socket, she didn’t think anything of it.

When  Ashley Ellison, 16, Medora, found out she could whistle through her eye socket, she didn’t think anything of it.

“It’s just me blowing air through my eye,” she said Monday morning at the Bismarck Airport waiting to board a plane on her way to New York. “I thought everybody could kind of do it and I didn’t think it was that rare of a thing, but I guess it is.”
But that quirk is sending the Belfield High School junior and her parents, Mary and Doug Ellison, on a trip to New York and she has a chance to be broadcast nationwide as part of stupid human tricks on “Late Show with David Letterman.”
She will be one of six performers in the segment, but only three will make the cut to the national broadcast this evening. The show is taped in the early evening and then edited and aired at 9:35 MDT.
The show paid for Ashley and one parent to fly to New York and stay Monday and tonight. They bought a third ticket so the whole family could go.
The Ellisons decided to send in a video of Ashley’s talent last spring, and it took about six months to get a response, she said.
“My parents did it just to annoy me,” Ashley said. “They’re like, ‘We’re going to send it to the Letterman show for Stupid Human Tricks,” and I’m like ‘OK, whatever,’ and, yeah, I guess it worked.”
She was very surprised when she found out she was chosen.
“I kind of went into shock,” Ashley said. “My parents called me to let me know when I was in the middle of algebra II.”
Her class thought it was bad news, like a death in the family.
“I couldn’t say sentences,” she said.
If picked, this appearance will complete a TV and film trifecta for the family. Mary was in the film “Wooly Boys,” which was filmed in Medora and Doug has appeared on The History Channel.
This is not the first time Ashley’s schedule has dictated a family vacation, Mary said.
“We feel like we keep following Ashley around,” she said. “We’ve been to Washington, D.C., because of her History Day participation and she needed to go to Mexico to get her scuba diving certification.”
New York wouldn’t have been the couple’s first choice for a getaway, Doug said.
“It’s kind of ironic, my wife Mary and I always had kind of said, ‘Who would want to go to New York City,’” Medora’s mayor said.
But Ashley is excited to see the world’s second-largest city.
“I’m hoping that we have some time to kind of tour around and see all of the stuff, like the Empire State Building and things like that, the Statue of Liberty,” she said.
The guests tonight are Kaley Cuoco from “The Big Bang Theory,” of which Ashley is a fan, and The Whigs.
While in New York, Medora’s mayor did not have any meetings planned with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Doug said.
“His schedule is probably busier than mine,” he said. “So probably not.”
Late Show was contacted via email, but The Press did not hear back by 3 p.m. Monday.
