Hopefully I can wake up the ND subforum for a few opinions
1. What are the best state parks or other hiking areas within an hour of Bismarck? Preferably with 5+ miles of trails and some elevation change.
2. Are block heaters common in personal vehicles?
3. As of the 2010 census (old data) the ratio of men to women was pretty even for ages 20-29 in Bismarck city. Ages 30-39 lean more male though, and I assume the oil patch further west has a lot of dudes. Thoughts on the dating scene?
4. The City-Data crime index shows an uptick in 2016, 2017, 2018. I know crime data can be tricky; does this match up with perceptions on the ground?
5. Is the climate dry enough to keep down the mosquitoes and gnats in summer?
Thanks!
