Minot is way up there. I have been there once. It's probably a solid seven or eight hours from me. If you ever find a vehicle around here just holler. I looked at a nice low mileage pickup for a Canadian boardmember, it was an old member, GMcee or something with GM in it. He was the guy with the super rusty Blazer that he brought back to life with lots of new/donor metal.
If you ship it to South Dakota you can meet a bunch of boardmembers here, and then a few more on your way up to the border.
