Two Notes From Spearfish -- South Dakota -- The Bakken, North Dakota, USA

First, a reminder: the Black Hills Bakken Conference, May 2 and 3; early registration at http://www.blackhillsbakkenconference.com. South Dakota geologist Tony Petres has been added to the speaker lineup.

The second story speaks volumes about the challenge of finding housing in North Dakota. The Rapid City Journal is reporting that oil workers working in the Bakken are moving their families to Spearfish, South Dakota. If nothing else, they will be close to the aforementioned conference.

Spearfish, South Dakota, is on US 85 and 299 miles from Williston, ND. I believe I have posted an earlier article on all the traffic that is going through Spearfish on the way to the Bakken.
