Holy Mackerel! Stay off that road!

I wonder if it could be another sink starting. Are there injection/disposal wells in the area?

It was amazing! I saw so many things. Way back when, oil companies didn't use pipe...they used canals to move oil. This one canal I was shown goes on for miles...at least 17 (that's how much of it I viewed last night)
I also was told that all riveted tanks are being replaced with welded ones...the riveted tanks are leaking. I had thought these tanks I've always passed by were empty...they're really old, but found out not the case!

The fractured bumpy roller coaster road...That's where the professor has been doing his research, trying to predict where the next sink will be. He'll be doing sonar testing soon, I have tickets to the event ;)

I put this comment on the wrong post. Doh!

Wow! You are onto some good stuff out there. I want to come see.

I bet those canals are full of toxins that have leached into your drinking water. They should be considered a superfund site. And all the old tanks leak like crazy. Yuck! What are we doing to our children's futures?

Hey, don't end up in a sink hole.

Well, I was even told about the lakes that had been in Wink something to do with Monument Draw. I could never figure out why there was a bridge going over nothing, but now I do. Way back in the 50s and 60s, the lakes were filled with industry produced water...salt. All the kids swam in them. Funny, though...a lot of those kids have died of cancer at young ages...

What? I don't even know what to say.
