When you look at a ND map, go to the center at the Canadian border then go a tad to the right to where to meet the IPG location. That's us. Also if you look at a "Verizon Cell Map", we are the little white dot in ND, that has NO CELL SERVICE. Which can be a pain in our pouty.
I've always been interested in North Dakota history. My maternal grandmother's family farmed near Bottineau in the late 1800's. My grandmother graduated from Bottineau high school in 1918 - the family moved to Minneapolis MN soon after due to poor crops, grasshoppers, if I remember right. I've always wanted to visit your beautiful state :)
