Ya, hiway 2 in MT is 667 miles, West to East border. I90 and I94 are close to the same although more crooked.Kinda hard to believe that far from Williston, since it is just about the westernmost town in North Dakota. The Montana and Idaho people working in the Bakken oilfield were driving or riding as far as I was to get to work. No wonder we were all worn out all the time.
My first few months working out of Williston they gave us a "field" day to prep before going to the well site. That usually meant a day to rest up from our long journeys before we went fracking. After things tightened up, we lost the field day, then the well bonuses, then they cut hours. Glad those days are behind me.

We were running Copper Creek Espresso when the fields fired up and we lost all those kids that were buying breakfast burritos and espresso. We even bought a 40ft toy hauler and went and checked out Williston ( and other local places ) for a place to sit it and sell stuff. Boy, that was a can o worms. We could not prepare hot breakfast burritos on site without a foundation. We are talking edge foundation, and did not have to have a cement floor. We could sell frozen stuff though. Just for giggles and grins we found a contractor that could build said foundation, and we got a pretty good laugh. $50,000 up front with a 2 year down the road build time. Of course I could not build anything without all the"special" permits and licenses. Geesh, we are talking a cement foundation!
