Bittersweet Sands - 24 Days in Fort McMurray (Paperback)

Rick Ranson has collected stories from all over North America, from the DEW Line and the drill ships of "Working North" to the raging waters of the Mississippi in "Paddling South." Now, join this engaging raconteur as he ventures to one of Canada's most talked-about locations: Fort McMurray, home of the oilsands.

In "Bittersweet Sands," Rick Ranson recounts a twenty-four day shift at an oilsands operation undergoing a shutdown, giving us a glimpse at a world most of us only know from the evening news. Along the way, he encounters a group of engaging roughnecks, including a husband and wife welding crew, a petty fascist safety inspector, and the tough-as-nails secretary that keeps them all in line.
