There are a lot of oil and gas rigs from San Ardo to Bradley. They
used
to be much more active until gas became cheap in 1987. This is
approaching the oil fields near Bradley.
I think this is by Alvarado Road (maybe this is Los Lobos Road.)
What a difference a season makes. In the spring this area is scenic,
but in the summer it's about even with Wyoming or Nevada. You see
the oil wells near Los Lobos Road and Alvarado Road. They're south of
the town of San Ardo. This is from April 1995.
