My Revising the Century submission 1

My trip to locate the site of the actual Spindletop oil gusher: there is a fake site a mile north of the actual site at a local college. The real site, there is a plaque, is somewhat hidden behind a No Tresspassing sign, with no markers from the road. You basically have to look up the lat. and long. and track it down.

Comment by Josh Ronsen on August 21, 2013 at 3:03pm: I think the college has an oil drilling degree, and probably the college was founded with oil money. It was weird that the real site was so hidden.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on August 21, 2013 at 4:52am: Strange. A nice story too. I wonder why they'd go to the trouble to build a fake sight (and at a college)?
