Cold & Flat. Friendly people. Lots of hunting and fishing. Oil industry is booming there!

The pay for everything Is very high because of the oil boom but so is the cost of living ... Very very cold winters and not much to do

More pay, do whats best for you and your fams. Staying away from everybody might not be worth the extra money unless your peoples are bringing you down.

I've been to Minot and Grand Forks a total of 9 hours. That was enough for me.

Hope you have housing secured. We (Air Force) have suspended any moves to the state due to lack of available housing. This has been on and off for 3+ years.
