I don't know if anyone else out there feels the way I do, but I am from North Dakota (yes there are 2 dakotas), and I'm currently living in New Mexico, when I see a car with a North Dakota plate I always feel the urge to want to flag them down and ask them where in ND they're from. I think there needs to be a universal signal to say hey I'm from the same state as you, without having to say anything.
I'm getting excited, we'll be driving up to South Dakota for a trip to see the family for memorial day weekend (We are all camping), not excited for the 10 hour drive but definitely excited to see the family.
