Bakken Entrepreneur

Until you start driving around the Bakken, you have no idea how dirty your vehicle gets. It is amazing how many pickups one sees that are so covered with dirt and dust, that the only clear part of the window is where the wiper blades reach.

Which someone else noticed and will probably be one of the richest men in the Bakken before it's all over.

    This is actually more interesting than it first appears. Folks that live in rural areas truck in their water on the beds of their pick-up trucks as shown. They buy the water at very inexpensive rates from the city.

    Something tells me that this won't become a big industry because the water is not recycled and dirty water (with soap, oil contaminants, etc) is released directly back into the environment, but for now it may work.

    But yes, you are correct. America is Great!

    Thank you, I would have missed it.

    I did catch the original story on Annabelle Homes in Stanley.

    I linked the articles you mentioned and put them in a stand-alone post. Again, thank you. This is quite impressive for a very small community.
