Hi there Mn, you're right about all the new N.D. millionaires. Unfortunately I'm not one of them. Did not retain mineral rights, much to my regret, when we sold property there about 8 years ago. :(

It's not only oil that has made North Dakotans prosperous though as most farmers had bumper crops this year.

Read an article just today indicating Texas is third best in job recovery in the nation. Alaska was second and yes, N.D. was at the top of the list.

What do you think all those newcomers will do this winter though...especially if the temps hit 20 below or more? Those man camps will be empty in no time. LOL
