Oil!

Hey folks!  Good to be back here on “A Bad Day Camping…”, and I wanted to let you all know that we’ve moved on from our stint at the mines to bigger and better things.  We recently toured the Marsden Oil Refinery and are fully equipped and ready to open our own oil refinery in New Hampshire when we return home.  We viewed a half hour long sound and light show and viewed the 1 million dollar scale model of the refinery.  We even picked up a few handouts, spun around in the executive’s chair a few times, and learned how to find oil.  I’d say we’re ready for business.  And, did you know that an endangered bird not only nests just outside the refinery but also within its fences?  Guess you can have one’s cake and eat it too.

Kidding aside, it was actually an interesting place.  The model itself is a piece of work worth seeing–it’s huge.  I couldn’t help but think that they should put some trains in there to liven things up a bit.  Or maybe some endangered birds behind the fences.  Unfortunately, this industry tour wasn’t offering any free samples.
