To the eastern eye
used to hills and forests and people
North Dakota seems barren. But
look again
with a wider eye
to the distant horizion
the clear dome of blue sky
the prairie rolling away like a grassy ocean. Hidden in the folds of the land is one of the great waterfowl nesting areas of North America. Those rolling grasslands once supported buffalo by the millions
and you can see them in your mind's eye if you look hard enough. Montana calls itself "the big sky country"; the sky is no *** aller in North Dakota. At night
it's filled with stars
and sometimes on the coldest nights you can almost hear the Northern Lights crackle as they dance in the sky. The state has a special beauty all its own. The scattering of people across the rural parts of the state are a tough and hearty breed
few enough that the state is one of the last reserves of elbow room in an increasingly crowded country. The state's literacy rate is the highest in the country
and the crime rate the lowest. It's a place where there's still room for the spirit to expand. Much of the NCNST in North Dakota is located on open
rolling prairie
much of it cropped or grazed. There are few trees; except in the river valleys
most of the trees along the trail route were planted by hand
to provide shelter from the bitter winter winds
firewood to drive away the cold
and shade to protect from the hot summer sun. Wherever you see a grove of trees along the NCNST in these areas
a farmhouse usually stands -- or once stood
for rural North Dakota has been steadily losing population through the second half of the century
as farms and ranches have bee bigger and less labor-intensive. Even the rural towns along the route are generally *** all and shrinking
though some have had better luck than others.
