I have been past this road many times in the past 20 years and always wondered how bad a route it really is??

was reading the headlines in the local paper. Beware Jayden.
Drug arrests spike in plains oil patch boom
The booming Bakken oil patch that's given a major boost to U.S. energy production has emerged as a new front in the fight…
that's all I can read. Might have to do a road trip,

I know what ya mean. Been 4eyes since I was 4yrs old and every time I get new pair, even if scrip is the same, it takes slme getting used to.
My current pair broke last trip up here on the job. Had to drive back to yard in the dark dern near blind. Our messican mechanic soldered them back together, lol. Had a headache till the next morning tho.

I appreciate that Kim. There is a lot of crime and crap up here now. Several murders and stuch too. Thats what happens when 18-25yr old kids make $6k in 2 weeks and hit the strip clubs and bars. Williston has turned into a craphole for that kind of thing.
I am up here to work and usually when I'm not workin I'm sleepin or just hangin out at the shop
