Best bet is to stay on or south of I-94. North of there is Williston, ND where the big oil boom is or was, but I've heard that gas prices have declined enough to make getting oil out of oil shale too expensive. A few years ago, tanker trucks on I-94 were numerous and farmers around Williston were renting out spots in their fields to the temporary oil workers.
IF gas prices are falling, it hasn't happened around me.
The oil boom is still going strong. Thousands of rail cars a DAY leave that area for points east. New rigs are going up all the time. New exploration is ongoing. Traffic can be heavy by North Dakota standards but by most places is light.
My real question is; Why North Dakota? Frankly the surrounding states of South Dakota, Montana and even Minnesota are far more scenic and have much more to offer. But There is some stuff to see. Theodore Roosevelt Natl Park probably being the best known and the best. I find the Medora Musical a bit hokey. Bismark has just recently opened a new Cultual Heritage Center Museum that is said to be stunning.
