Not sure what is happening on this site. It appears that at Hwy 174 near the intersection of FM 933, there is a commercial development
under way.
The late afternoon shadows make it hard to see the uprooted and flattened trees. The J-G Ranch was littered with downed timber. Fortunately it all appeared to be confined to open pasture lands. Scroll down and click on pictures to increase their size and clairty.
Fortunately, the only damage I saw in the aftermath of yesterday's violent storms were these downed trees on the J-G Ranch, just south of Blum.
These pictures were taken from FM 933 where either a tornado or strong straight line winds crossed from SW to NE.
Vaughn Baptist Church. I'll just bet that the Devil takes a 'beatin', at Wednesday night prayer meetin'. The sign doesn't show a time for Wednesday night services, but I believe it's safe to say they have 'em!
Should see 3-D seismic activity beginning around the lake during the first quarter of 2007. A permit agent for Polaris LTD. said that Lake Aquilla makes up almost 80% of the shoot. The Corps of Engineer's are slow to complete the permitting process, or so I'm told. Much more 'red tape' involved than individual leasing.
Aquilla is in the same shape as ALL other lakes in North Texas. Remaining many feet below normal levels. The drought continues!
Pipelines, flowlines, gathering lines.
Located on the W.R. Baker survey, 0.8 miles NE of Aquilla,TX.

A recent Dale Resources flyer for leasing city lot's in Ft. Worth. This was published several weeks ago, so it may have expired. Four-Sevens offered us $500 and 25% for our lot.
Go south from Whitney on FM 933 for approx. 8 miles. This is an aerial view. If you are familiar with the area, it's very easy to find. When in doubt, check out Mapquest and it will give you the best route depending on where you are coming from. (Map courtesy of Google Earth).
Powerchutes sailing through the evening skies just to the south of Blum, TX. Thought they might come closer, but they both veered southward and disappeared below the timber line. Looks like the perfect way to relax and forget your troubles, or view your gas well from above. I've seen a billboard in the Blum area with Craig McPherson's name on it advertising; 'Dreams Of Flying'
. Is that you Craig?
It appears that the drilling stage at the Gerik Trust lease in Aquilla has been concluded. The rig has been disassembled, and I'm sure has found another temporary home somewhere in the Barnett Shale/Ft Worth Basin. This photo shows all that remained at the site as of Friday, Nov. 3rd.
Darkness moves in quickly just minutes after sundown on the J-G Ranch. The Binkley lease, on the J-W Crain survey is highly visible from FM 933, lighting up the night sky about 4.5 miles SW of Blum.
Quicksilver Resources is stepping up drilling again on the J.G. and Steiner Valley Ranches in northern Hill county
Lot's of activity taking place not far from this 'watering hole' in northern Hill county, according to the TX/RRC. I stumbled across this pump station while looking for J-W Operating's pad for the Craig-Davis lease. Not being familiar with the area I didn't see any activity, but I must have been close.
A little cleanup work on the Segars property near the junction of FM 67 and FM 3049, just out of Blum. (A.H. White survey).
