Gents,

The hills of that part of Pennsylvania remain dotted with little oil rigs.

I knew of a number of folks (in my youth) who owned a few pumps and when the price of oil spiked, they would start pumping.

Then, when the price dropped, they would stop because it cost more to suck it out of the earth than it was worth.

My Uncle Joe, the second owner of my P-A, had had a guy working for him who held an annual pig-roast, and for the young buck’s amusement, he had drivable VW tubs in which we could scoot up and around the hills of North Eastern PA.

No seat belts, no roll bar!

The roads on which we scooted were oil pump access roads and we passed dozens of pumps on our sojourns.

What a HOOT!
