Santa Claus' Reindeer in the Bakken -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

For newbies: I don't know how many of you know this, but Santa and the missus summer in South Dakota (no state income tax), but after spending as much time with his reindeer as they do, they drop off the reindeer in North Dakota for the off-season.

This is a very short clip of Santa's reindeer just northwest of Williston, North Dakota.

One is not allowed to photograph the barn in which Rudolph has quarters, but if you watch closely, in the corner of one of the frames, you can just barely make out a red building in the background. That's where Rudolph is staying. He comes out occasionally during the day, but too many truckers are stopping to take photographs that he prefers to stay indoors.

I understand that if you bring carrots, you might entice him to come to the fence.
