North Dakota officials are encouraging hundreds of Dakota Access oil pipeline protesters to respect a directive to leave a sprawling, months-old encampment on federal land.

The next few weeks could get pretty interesting in North Dakota.
That’s for sure! You do NOT want to be in ND in January... The wind burns so badly.
