camp or town?

I am working out of camp and its not that bad if you have something to entertain yourself. I wouldn't plan to stay too long though.

It's a weird weird town. 22 year olds rolling around in 60,000 trucks, mcdonalds employees getting close to $20 an hour with the restaurant closing at 7 some nights. And lots of hookers and blow. Be careful up there, don't get sucked in. Get in, make some bank, and get out within a couple years.
