From 3,822 Miles" by Rick Bass
He has recently completed the stretch over North Texas, within a shout of Oklahoma, capturing image after image that I will eventually pore
over, filled with wonder, at my desk: oil, oil, oil, patchwork, grid work, pump jacks, frack tanks-a kind of demolition mining, really, more than
the old-fashioned hunter-gatherer drilling I grew up with. Then there's the Panhandle: crop dusters in Dalhart, lined up like military
squadrons, man versus soil, man versus nature. Farther on: how quickly, how crazily, the land switches from agriculture to oil-the old
swamps, old point bars, mapped by our probings as a baked cake coming out of the oven is tested with toothpicks.
