See first comment. I completely forgot about Amtrak: $57 one-way this time of the year according to Amtrak's web page.
See third comment. I also forgot about Jefferson bus lines: $53 daily, one-way, according to website.
Or Amtrak....
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so embarrassed. You are so correct. $57 according to Amtrak website today. Wow, you are correct. Thank you for pointing that out. I completely missed that, and I am a big fan of Amtrak.
DeleteOr the bus on Jefferson Lines. Fargo to/from Williston daily.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm missing a lot. Thank you. I appreciate the reminders.
DeleteReplace windshield, made my day. In Summer: clean off grass hoppers every twenty miles.
ReplyDelete...unless, of course, you hit a deer, and then a bit more needs replacing...
DeleteI used to live in Fargo, wife is a Bison, guess they havn't heard of Rapid City.
ReplyDeleteRapid City would be another nice alternative....
DeleteWho are these "Upper Income Workers" not really doubting it, but curious. If they are Engineers, I can see that, because they probably are not working just on the Bakken infrastructure. Spouse's are commuting from Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, Montana, etc... every other week to work in the Bakken and then go home to their families and homes on their time off. Are these "upper income workers" doing the same? They are from Fargo and commute? With many of the same engineering firms with locations in Fargo and now opening up offices in Williston, I wonder how much longer engineers would be required to live in Williston where they work. Braun announced they will be opening an Engineering office in Williston this summer. (joing AE2S, Kadrmas, Sanderson Stewart, Advanced Engineering, Ameritech, Oakland, Epic, Baseline, Interstate, Ultieg...just some of the firms that did not have offices until recently in Williston.
