Producer and consumer

Near the top of Long Canyon (Moab, Utah) view map


The Green Weenie sits in the company of resource extraction infrastructure. What used to be just a down-sloping dirt road through here is now a huge level work area. This was where I parked, just off Long Canyon Road, to hike down to the top end of Day Canyon. This device, at the top of an oil well borehole, is called a Christmas tree

I photographed this at the start of a hike in upper Day Canyon in May 2008.

Looks like a periscope for something Deep Under.

Yes, Larry, this is Area 51---but please don't tell anyone that I took pictures there, as that could cause me to get into a heap of trouble (I could get re-assigned to Michigan!).

Tom, you need a refresher course in basic math---there's only one well.
