These lighted derricks are located in Kilgore, Texas in what is called the "World's Richest Acre." This 1.195 acre tract had its first production on June 12,1932.

After a bad fall that resulted in surgery, I was recuperating at home and stir crazy. My husband took me out for drives in the country. We bought a new digital camera...
