Most People Don’t Have What it Takes

“Do you have what it takes to be a 21st century pioneer?” I read about Northwest North Dakota in Sunday’s Times. Here is how the website prairieopportunities.com entices urbanites to flee to their northern paradise.

“Most don’t”. NW North Dakota has openings for 5,000 people to live under clear skies, drink clean water, to worry less and enjoy life as it was meant to be enjoyed.

Most people have a problem with living in a northern climate where winters can present themselves with a magnificent ferocity. To others there is a deep satisfaction and connection to the world we live in when they commune with the seasons and the wonders each offers.

Odds are, you are not a candidate for NW North Dakota. You have succumbed to the cities. All of your pleasure must be provided and you gladly stand in long lines to receive them. But if you are one of those who is wondering what they are doing in that line, continue on. This may be the journey you have been waiting for, but had no idea where the line was to get tickets. It’s OK; there are no lines in NW North Dakota.
