Dawson has been setting up for the last month.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are they doing?

Those are vibrosise rigs. They lower a big plate to lift the truck then run a program to a series of vibration routines while recording the echos on another truck. Looking for dinosaurs.

Cool

oil and gas exploration

This^^^^^^

Looks like they are making a lot of new roads for you to get to some of those hard to reach places.
Adios,

ahhh the memories! My pops was in the seismic industry for over 45 years.

They are causing global warming.

Sure bets the old way. Digging a 100ft hole, stringing out wet mikes for 2 miles, setting of 20lbs of Amfo, and recording

I strung those mics for one long day and quit to go find a job supporting the recorders at the factory.

Jitterbugging. My brother did that one summer in Louisiana, in the swamps. He got to tote the cables.

The boys were using Jug Line's each as 3 recievers and they place them about 5ft from the unit. They've laid out a ton of jug lines brought in several trailers full. They've got them set about 100 yards apart going nth and south.

The only jug lines I set are for catfish.

I saw one of those today at the Ft. Worth Museum for my daughters field trip

That’s pretty neat! Thanks for posting those..

Cool

Here they are pads down and rocking, I was about 100 yards away and could feel it in the truck.

Looks like a good place to put a rig

They did that out here in Wise county and much of Parker, seemed like it took months with crews running the roads on atv's putting out wires on the ground, then those big trucks came in. I remember the engineers wanting to mark all the water wells as to avoid cave in's. Those trucks are bigger in person than they appear.

Does Curly bill approve of the intrusion?

He is not happy! He's moved his band about 2 miles west, still on the ranch.
