North Dakota oil boom traffic.
We were coming up from Theodore Roosevelt National Park to Williston ND to see Fort Union and catch route 2 west. I was told that the oil boom traffic was bad in the northwest corner and there would be no RV campgrounds open in the area.:(
That was an understatement!! :E Traffic was bad, road construction even worse, road signs almost non-existent and the alternate roads were gravel.
Several time we spent 30 to 40 minutes creeping through city traffic and construction zones. You can rest assured you will have a spot between two semis as the majority of the vehicles on the road are 18 wheelers.
We found a road sign that suggested an alternate route which shortly tuned to 16 miles of dusty gravel.:S
Fortunately my wife and I have long since learned to go with the flow and though annoying and rather time consuming, all is well that ends well; but it was not for the nervous or faint of heart. Oh yes, the closest campground was 90 some miles into Montana.
I know, we could have stayed on I -94 but what fun would that have been.:W
