BIG OIL
12:57AM Thursday: Econolodge, Minot North Dakota. Little trouble getting out of Watford City ND…the epicenter of the North Dakota oil boom it is said. But with some tricky manuevering we got out of line, backtracked 40 miles or so, changed routes entirely and now only 3 hours late…WE ARE HERE.
There are many stories from the road but for now this must suffice as the tale of the day.
Goodnight from Teresa and Marjorie…on the trail NORTH.
THE TRUCKS AHEAD OF US.
THE TRUCKS BEHIND US.
US.

If you are not part of the truck parade how do you get from point A to point B. Obviously the road is totally inadequate for the traffic. All that oil money, but I bet the state can’t find money to improve the highways. Or perhaps the state taxes are so low they can’t do that. Will be very interested to hear more of this part of the adventure. This weekend On Delaware route 1 near the beaches…it will be the same. Replace trucks with cars and make the highway 6 lanes and that is the price we pay for our economic boom…tourists. But we love our tourists!
