I've never been to Spindletop Park.
Located in Beaumont, TX, this is the site of the famous Lucas Gusher of 1901. The oil was drilled and spurted out of the rig for nine days before they could cap it! The site was dry within ten years. In the 1920s oil was found on the flanks by drilling deeper and in the 1950s sulfur was mined. Now they are trying to use the salt domes to store natural gas.
That I'd like to see.
