There's another claim for an early oil well in Burning Springs, West Virginia, a few hours east from Ferret's home. I stumbled across it years ago out exploring on my old Honda VFR750 (RIP) when I was stationed at Wright-Patt Air Force Base in Ohio. Lots of forgotten history out there!

Yes, there is certainly a lot of oil history in PA and WV. Quite different from the world today. I would also say oil history in Ontario is essentially almost forgotten too. U.S. has Texas, Canada has Alberta. Nobody on this continent seems to refer to anywhere else in regards to traditional extraction.

A bit more regarding [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_Springs,_Ontario]oil history in Ontario.

Like olde mines, historic oil wells could make for some decent motorcycle destinations - especially in PA and WV.

Just scratched off my motorcycle been to map. Here is a main goal while I can still ride.

Wonder how many hours and days it would take to complete such a loop (yellow)?

Wondering if I could stay up in elevation to stay cool going up and ride the coast back down with some ocean breeze?

How did you bypass Georgia to get to Florida , did you live in FL ?

My brother-in-law asked the same question.

Family went to the beach, I went riding.

I was going to say, "RLETs", but I suppose they are not that powerful ("wings" are too tiny?).

Good eye Houtman.

I also trailered across Kansas but thanks to ferret we unloaded at the hotel and rode up to Nebraska to check off that state. HaHa

I'm adding a new 2020 resolution for myself..... to always check the original post date of any thread upon which GoldOxide comments before adding my own comment to said thread.
