The things you see on back roads

From my earlier post #91; the hill-side shot of the pad..
Here it is about 24 hours later and the derrick has been laid down. The cranes will then break down the derrick tower in 2-3 pieces to be loaded on a truck each and driven to the next pad. Most all the remaining drilling equipment will be gone in 48 hours.

This was a water tower that has been around since I was a kid. It is actually across the street from my wife, Laura's parents. Last summer they tore it down. They started with cutting a big hole at the bottom of the tower then burn a section and drop it down inside the tower and pull it out. We watched most of the day.

This is while we are drilling, not burning off the bad gas after the fact and we are gone Huck. Hope your doing good my friend.

Those water tower pics are cool. I got to watch one go up once, had never stopped to consider how they get built.

Believe it or not, its an Apple cell phone I think its the G6

 

[Bigslam51]

That's awesome! You must of got lucky to snap the pic at just the right time. My phone has a really good camera also, I think its a 21mp, which was a big reason why I got it. I like taking random pictures of stuff while I'm out in the woods.
