A few nights ago, I went driving around down LA 1 South from Shreveport to near Westdale. Due to the weather, the air was very murky. Low clouds, mist, fog, etc. All the lights from the driling sites made a big light dome over each such location.
There's a LOT of activity going on down there. You don't really realize it until you drive on a night like that.
mac: La 1 became a ghost town after I-49 opened. Now it looks like recess with all the activity - have you noticed how many trucks there are with TX plates?
