I posted somewhere here some time ago that the owner told me it had already been drilled and was scheduled to be fracked next year. You aren't going to see much from the road but the gates may be open....trespass at your own risk. Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Friday - Saturday they were unloading pipeline - could hear the clunking of the pipes through the hills as they rolled to the ground from the loaders...seems everything is on schedule for fracking asap.  Seemed the same name on the cargo trucks as that on the dozen or more earlier crew pipeline trucks and the still remaining storage trailer over there on #14 just east of #10 at Nettles Well.

No real mysteries - everyone seems to know what they are doing and what they are doing is business as usual - just not telling us what each step is! Any word about the Nettles propane gel results? And if they are going to use that at Dutch Valley?

The rig is up now.  You can definately see the rig from  sandy ridge road.

Jason, the well has already been drilled - according to the landowner. What you are seeing is the prep for the fracking of the well.

There was never anything there to drill the well until now.  I live close to the site and travel past it often.

Jason - we must be neighbors. You may have missed the rig that was there earlier - I saw it, heard it. And have no reason to doubt the owner who is also in the industry.

Regardless, we can both agree progress is being made. Enough said.

I agree.  Progress is being made!!

Al-- Did you happen to make a trip past the well sight? I could not hardly sleep with all that fracking noise! !! Remember, only believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see. ENOUGH SAID!!!
