Watford City Outskirts

Little Pink Houses
An ode to John Melloncamp. These tiny homes house the oil workers in their quest for fortune
The Fleet
The Mack Truck fleet bound to carry oil and such to their refineries I suppose
Trailer Parks
Probably the most expensive trailer park you'll ever see. Workers get payed a ton of money but are charged a small fortune to live.
Long Load
Dirty on the inside and out
Circle of Life
Oil from under the ground is shown in its full life circle from transport to consumption
Fill up, Drop off?
This tanker truck was headed to the gas station to either fill up or drop off?
Quick Housing
Housing was being built in a heartbeat to accomodate the growing number of oil workers. Hence a BOOM town
Infrastructure
If you are going to pull the fuel from the earth, ya gotta have the right means to do it
Misfits
These trucks were either rejected or on a break from their exhaustive transport schedule
Convoy
The road was a seemingly endless train of trucks going to and from the now famed Watford City
The Bench
Some of the few trucks not being used in this city on a 24-hour basis

Who will be called to go to work next? Parked on the side of the road in Watford City
Photobomb
The Kodiak wanted to get in a picture with one of the hard working trucks that were apart of history...like it or not
To Industy
The flames of industry burn bright. So long beautiful landscape...
Cheap Houses, High Price
Rent prices comparable to those of New York penthouse apartments. Not joking...
