Edinburg/ McAllen 10 miles from the Mexico Border
Highway 59 is a long one too. In Freer, TX there is a sign that says"No Gas for 300 Miles"(In 1977)Thanks for the welcome! WOW you know your geography that's for sure and you are absolutely right The border is actually 60.-63 miles N. from where I'm at but the U.S.A Mexican Border in Hidalgo Texas is the Border along the rive never thoughr is that way but you are right, near Falfurias
Tanks Ive already gotten some awesome help here. Rough necking is no joke worked a trippel decker for Blocker Drilling in West Columbia in Texas one month of that sent my ass back to college with money for the semester, worked back up tongs some experience I will never forget 2 weeks after I left the driller got fired and there went our crew.Hey there LoneStar 281! Did way more than my share of rough neck and wire line service down in that area. I was based in Victoria with Wellex and the shop in Alice had trouble keeping their equipment running and we subbed for them quite often. They had a truck break down near Three Rivers and then one in George West. They had a tool stuck @15,000 FT and we had to replace them and do a cut and strip to save the instrument.
We fed 15,000 FT of armored cable through the drill string 90FT at a time. Earned almost $2000.00 on that one job.
And welcome to the best site there is for CB or HAM.
If you have never heard of the "Tail of the Dragon" It is 318 curves in 11 miles. You better be wide awake and paying attention while driving.
As a joke I mentioned a road I called "The Anti-Dragon" it is 318 m iles with 11 gentle curves. There are lots of roads in Texas that qualify for that moniker. Flat land no trees and nothing to look for except Texas Department of Public Safety.
