Nope , But back then there was a drilling rig on ever corner . At night if you were on Rt 11 around us 6 and 322 you could see the towers all over . Back then i was running s large service company for a friend . If it was on tires or tracks that is what i was incharge of . Most times i was at the main shop keeping things moving between the phones and company radio . But there were times i had to go and get my boots muddy when things went south . We covered a vary large area of operation from the lake to the river over into Pa and Ny and W Va. . had 4 D 6 D's , 4 850 John Deeres , 4 750 John Deeres , 4 550 John Deeres couple 410 back hoes one Masey track hoe ( pure Junk ) 2 690's and 2 590's 4 ditch witches four mobile welding out fits , 380 300 BBl frac tanks to keep up with two frac tank haulers that ran 24-7 8 90 BBl water trucks 8 semi tankers a raft of 3 and 4 inch pumps a herd of pick ups and one tins miles and miles of 3 and 4 inch hose four service rigs four low boys and flat or floats plus my semi running pipe and tubing from the mills . had 11 mechanics working two shifts . And like i said there were days and nights i had to go out , even had to fillin as a pipe line welder one day to get a two mile tie in line in the ground . took one of the back up millers and put it in my own pick up along with everything i needed sole one of the mechanics as a helper and everything else we needed was up there . and i hate welding 4 inch . Weld and pull weld and pull then go down and weld on two 90's in the MUD . Got called out one Nov morning at 2:30 Am to go help move a drilling rig up by Kingsville on a Sunday morning in a driving rain storm that quickly turned in to a Lake affect Blizzard . Two of us tryen to get this rig out with two D 6 Ds . Rig was 3200 and some feet back in off the road and we had to winch the empty trucks back in and winch them out at about 200 feet a pull . I got there around 4:30 in the morning and we were just loading the dozers up to go to the new location at 1:30 Monday morning as the tool pusher was demanding we get that rig onto the new location and it was the same way a mud bog . I was whipped and the other operator was falling a sleep and it was still snowing . after the third time i slid off the side of the low boy i had had enough and told the tool pusher we were done And i was going HOME Soaking wet , tired and vary cold . That was a LONG ride to the house all the way in four wheel drive slip sliden down 11 and the short piece of 80 and back on 11 down to Canfield and if you did not know 62 you would not have found it to the house. Then the night i get a call at the shop that one of our lowboys with a D 6 D on layed over on its side on a back township road on a HILL because the road gave way and no way to get wreckers in to it and had to take TWO dozes down and only one low boy to do it all the way to Cladwell Took two 850 Deeres pulled one on and backed the other on and had my own personal semi tractor hooked to the low boy and set sail sure glad the scales on 77 were closed that night . Working the Patch was a adventure every day . as for no drilling going on it is feast or fammon , all those holes were in the Clinton formation and not vary deep 3-4000 feet up there and down here 5-7800 . Next good formation is the one they just drilled and that is 8-10000 , they hit that one hard and when the money ran out so did the drilling companys and never drilled the rest that were planed screwed over land owners cheated them lied to them . Only a few people that played it smart and did not sign .
