I would love to hear what you think of the blog I wrote.
Part of the 23 days I spent on the road in October I ended up in Williston, North Dakota, covering one of the biggest energy stories in recent times. As many as 100,000 people have migrated in the last year to the northern plains in search of making their fortune drilling for oil in the Bakken Formation.
Once again, here is a link to the blog.
