Ranger Archive

I was driving out to Bismarck, ND the other day, and realized that there was a Durbin, ND 20 miles outside of Fargo. Anyhow, I stopped there on my way back, and there wasn't a sludge panther in sight. There was a pancake breakfast, but nothing I could stick wire mesh traps to. Some lost village. There's a sign for it right off the main highway. Maybe they need to adjust the North Dakota respawn rate.

It's probably the only POI in eastern ND though.

What do you people do with all that empty space? You could park cars in it!

You'd be amazed at the complete lack of population density. I live in the "big city" of Fargo (pop. 100,000) which is the biggest city in the state. We have only 600,000 or so people in the entire state.

I live in Wyoming . Your big city = our 2 largest cities.

Calc,

Maybe that explains our rangerdom. I wonder how many rangers live in areas with little-to-no population density.

I could probably spit and hit 100,000 people from here.

I live in the most densely populated state in the USA.

Don't get me wrong, I love Jersey, but man....we have more people per square mile than any other state.

Thats ok Akron im from across the delaware and i can understand as well.

Now on 476N I keep passing these these large green poles with mesh fencing. Its probaly 100 feet high and all i can think of is "I really wish i had my imperial outfit with me so i could put it on"

Dude! I live in Grand Forks! I had no idea that there was another ranger this close.

Oh, and don't worry about us not having as many people per square mile as some states, since we can own a whole bunch more land than them. I grew up on a farm in northeastern South Dakota, and my family owns 1160 acres. Out on the east coast I'd bet it would cost a couple hundred thousand dollars for one half acre. So it's not all bad here.

P.S. Plus, the winters make you tough.
