Id prefer dryden too, but i wouldnt call it heaven lol.
Ear falls is too small, beautiful but very gossipy like any small town.
But i havent been back since the mill shut down.
Back when i lived there it was small but everyone had money and great jobs, which is good but that meant lotsa drugs and booze.
Id guess most either moved to red lake or work in red lake. Which is a complete gong show of a town
If you have a chance at a good job in ear falls, call tom at sleepy dog cabins and see if he can hook you up with a place. Its unreal nice and the fishing/scenery is great. And tom is awesome
