Since I usually camp, I can't afford to bring enough water to make that trip safe now. Western (http://insideclimatenews.org/news/20120608/oil-campanies-north-dakota-boom-gas-drilling-fracking-wastewater-waterways-pollution-dumping-grounds). This kind of shit is why I'm not religious. Any god dumb enough to tolerate humans is too dumb for me. T.W.

It was a great trip. I had a blast exploring the area. On the way home from that trip, I stayed at a hotel and on HBO that night was the movie "Gasland" which is a pretty thought provoking movie about fracking. Haven't been back since and really don't have much interest in returning any time soon.The Nuge vs CT175https://www.blogger.com/profile/03818973526590827022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950664143576637249.post-70808783307875491332012-12-11T05:43:28.513-06:002012-12-11T05:43:28.513-06:00My last ND trip was almost all gravel roads, at le...My last ND trip was almost all gravel roads, at least 1500 of the 2500, in fact. I don't usually care much about road surface, but since I camp a lot I don't want to be poisoned by the available water supply. The Sheyene River Valley is a beautiful area with a lot of pretty rough gravel and clay roads. Well worth traveling, though. T.W.

Hwy 2 is in the middle of a major improvement project. I rode 2 across ND last summer and there were a few 10 mile sections of loose gravel. It's not like there's an easy detour around it either. If you head west, check the ND DOT web site for the latest construction updates.Erik Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051303728879129181noreply@blogger.com
