naturebob Report post Posted July 17, 2015 Just got back from Midland Texas. Thank God I aint gotta live or work there. What an ugly Frickin place. Never in My life did I think I would be happy to get home to North Dakota. Off to work Tomm. 10 weeks till unit 10 Elk hunt. Funny, same Country ,same Companies but style of oil well set up is totally different as well as hauling process.. That place is old fashioned and ugly. I can move to Carlsbad NM. and that will get me closer to AZ. .One more year up here then Maybee AZ. Depends on money. Hope oil prices go back up soon, as it is a bigger part of American economy than people realize. 20k layed off up here and way more in Texas. Every time I fly ,airports and planes are packed with oil workers and the brass. Only high paying jobs left in America for the common working man.............BOB!

.270 Report post Posted July 17, 2015 i love west texas. it's all great country. some of it ain't what folks think of as pretty, but there is some neat stuff out there. palo duro canyon, the sand hills. that hight desert around van horn. adobe walls. some really big farms. great ranching country. i really enjoy all the old small towns that still have a maint street. before we bought the nuevo rancho neglecto we looked in a texas a lot for a place.

dse Report post Posted July 18, 2015 I've been in Plainview Tx. for the last month. I didn't think there could be a place on earth that could make me miss Williston, but I've found it! Driving through palo duro canyon has been the only highlight of this trip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yotebuster Report post Posted July 18, 2015 Good to hear you made it back Bob! I can see ND is growing on you! (Jk). Have you ever looked into the Allegiant flights from Minot to Mesa? When I was living down there it was $120 or so round trip and was a 2.5 hr direct flight. Made trips back and forth pretty easy. I know the minot airport is a goat rodeo but the ticket price is cheaper then gas from Carlsbad to az. We haven't seen much slowdown in Williston. It got a few bad apples out of here and allowed a catch up on the road construction and housing. This slow down has been the best thing to happen to the Bakken if you ask me. Did you get a Montana deer tag this year? I've found some decent areas just across the border. Not the quality of bucks as in ND but at least the tags are otc.
