And believe it or not Minot is 130 miles from the Montana border and even Dickinson is over 60. There’s a lot of western ND that most in-state residents never see.
In North Dakota, Bismarck is often thought of as a western ND city. But in reality it’s pretty dang close to center. 180 miles from the Minnesota border to the east and 150 miles from the Montana border to the west.

The soils in most of the western 1/3 of North Dakota (aka the badlands) get just 10–15 inches of rain a year. They’re often calcareous, have thinner topsoil, and support mixed grass prairie, clay, sage brush, small cacti and more. It’s the same basic soil family and climate vibe t Texas and Panhandle. Sticky slimy gumbo when it does finally rain.
That means the soils of western ND are far more similar to those areas of western and northern Texas than they are the Red River Valley (Fargo, Hillsboro, Grand Forks) soils in eastern ND. The RRV is famous for its deep jet black rich Vertisols and Mollisols that get 20-26 inches of rain and rank among the most fertile farmland soils on Earth. Near complete opposite of the soils just a few hundred miles to the west within the same state borders.
The great soil divide of North Dakota. 🇺🇸

Take a closer look at Sport Dream
SPORT DREAM IS BACK!
Our hardest-to-make sleep elixir is back with a brand-new flavor. Miss Gemma calls it her patented sleep formula. No one has a sleep formula as downright heavenly as this one, child.
We did actually trademark the slogan Energy for Sleep®, though. Your brain e for energy while you’re sleeping.
Introducing MISS GEMMA’S SMOOTH MAPLE SHAKE!
Well, come on in, child. It’s Miss Gemma, everybody’s auntie from the Deep South about a hundred years ago. How am I here today? I live in all of you, honey. Now come taste what I made.
You know that last spoonful of melted butterscotch ice cream at the bottom of the bowl? That’s what this tastes like. I swapped the cane sugar for organic maple sugar, added real heavy cream, and made you a whole glass of it to have before bed.
I only made a small batch. Every can takes a good deal of work, and when I saw what that maple sugar cost, I had to pull up a chair. But it’s worth it, child. I made it with love, and I made it for you. Yes, you specifically.
Now go get yourself some beautiful sleep. And if you do that little sleep-score thing, may yours be the envy of every kid on the block.
As my mama used to say, “Never let a wristwatch tell you how you slept or a rooster in Sunday shoes tell you that tin roof ain’t as hot as the sun at night!”
Love,
Miss Gemma

Musings of an old trucker:
Like I said a couple days ago, back in 2012 and 2013, I worked the oil fields of North Dakota, hauling water.
Fresh water for fracking new wells, and production water, the salt water that comes up with the oil once a well’s producing.
Many a time I n conditions just like this with temps anywhere from zero to 30 below, with wind chills down to 40 or even 60 below.
And I was just a desert rat from Arizona. Where I had come from, 40 degrees is jacket weather. Up there, 20 below is a normal Tuesday.🤣
I’d driven in weather like this plenty of times before. But driving through it is one thing. Climbing out of a warm cab to hook up hoses and stand in it is a whole different world.
You learn real quick what cold actually is. And you learn to appreciate a heater that works. 🥶🚛
