Up around Devil's Lake, North Dakota, the folks on the reservation told tales of how the lake used to be much higher than it was in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. <br /><br />Sure enough, in the 90s, the lake started rising.

I was always amazed while driving on the Pacific Coast Highway down in SoCal at all the pricey houses perched on stilts high on bluffs overlooking the ocean.
