Lonesomest Wildcat on Nine Mile Mesa Adventure
The Carter Oil Company article tours the No.1 Canyon government wildcat atop a 75000 foot mesa near Vernal Utah. It follows Kenneth Hayes and Charlie Reid as crews endure 40 below zero cold, 23 percent grades and constant river crossing. Workers live on site twelve on twelve off for twelve days, with fuel and water fragile under winter storms.
