Word was that the oil patch in Williston North Dakota was booming. I checked into this. It was decided that I’d move to the patch after much discussion with the family. I talked my son into coming with me as he needed a change also. The car we would take was a Dodge Omni. After getting all of our stuff put into the car, we had quite a load. We decided on a departure date of September 08, 2011. Two other guys, Norman and Jeff also came in Norman’s car. We left with some money I borrowed from my mom. On the way, we stayed at a campground in Superior Wisconsin in a tent. We also stayed in Minot at a friend's house (Julie H.) on September 9, 2011. The next day in Minot we looked for jobs, applied at a few, and then decided to head to Williston.
