Space to breathe

When there's no one else for miles and miles do you usually groan about it? Or do you take in the peacefulness of the scenery? Because we live in North Dakota we have that advantage. People in the crowed cities probably often wish they could attain the solitude we can here in this great state. With the openness comes the great scenery and awesome hunting. People from out of state are willing to pay up to $200 for a deer bow license as compared to the deer bow license for residents which is $20. While working for game and fish this summer I was suprised at the number of people that applied for out of state licenses. There is something to be said of North Dakota when people are willing to pay that much just to come here and experience what we can everyday.
So next time you're all alone, enjoy the silence or the scenery because not many people in other states can do that.

North Dakota's Fabulous Weather

You might notice some people saying "I hate North Dakota winters", especially after the nice little snow storm that hit this last weekend. I for one have never been a huge fan of snow or winter, but this winter I'm going to have a different attitude. Instead of staying inside all winter, I'm going to take advantage of the fact that not too far from Bismarck is a place to go skiing and snowboarding. Granted Huff Hills isn't as good as Red Lodge, but for those just learning or those just wanting to get out and do something it works just fine. Another great winter activity is ice skating. This, like snowboarding, will take a little practice. And for those who are young at heart there is always sledding.
I know this may not be the strongest point as to why a person should stay in North Dakota, but with the recent snow storm I figured it was a great opportunity to persuade people to go out and enjoy the white stuff. It could be worse, just look further down south where they have hurricanes and monsoons. I'd rather be stuck in snow personally.
So for those who are stuck here for the time being, you might as well enjoy winter weather. It might just make the winter season go by faster.
