Howdy Allan,

I spent a while at Bismark, North Dakotah, back in 1976. It was the Bicentenial year, and also the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Ft. Abraham Lincoln is just outside Bismark. (Near Mandan) That was the "home base' for General George Armstrong Custer. There is a national park there now. The fort has been preserved as a national monument. I was in the service of our country at that time (U.S. Army, 7th Cav.) We were sent to Ft Lincoln for a couple weeks to serve as Honor Guard during a re-enactment of Custer's leaving the fort to go "kill injuns". (You see where that got HIM!)

Long story short. If I never see the "badlands" again, it'll be too soon. Just about the most feature-less terrain on the planet.

Bismark is the state capital. The population of Bismark is over 1/2 the states total. It was the worst place in the world for a 19 year old "soldier-boy" to be stuck. Never want to see the place again...

I didn't have much dealings with "the locals", but I can understand why they would be so grumpy. If i was stuck there, I'd be in a bad mood too. John
