Okay, I put the Rotan water well was drilled to 25,000 feet, which is what the article says, but Dad says that it couldn't have been that deep, because the deepest well is 30,000 feet, which was drilled around Midland or Odessa, just to see how deep they could go, then they hit granite. If you know the correct depth, give me a holler.
Dad says he remembers the tractor with the steam engine, that you could hear it idling while they were sitting on the square on Saturday night. He said that one night some local boys went up there and knocked it into gear. It was nearly to Hamlin before authorities got it stopped. It only moved about 5 mph.
He's got a million of those Saturday night stories. I'll have to be sure to get all of them in here, gradually.
