Description

This aerial view by Stan Spiegle shows a derrick, sheds, equipment and vehicles, apparently near a beach. Thanks to Sam Talley, who notes: "This well site and many like it on the Olympic Peninsula were all 'dry holes'. The drilling sites were based on geologic data that was subjective and primitive, at best."
