What are the holes drilled into the gound for? They have litle wires sticking out of em and got a permit number nailed to the tree closest to it. If i recall correctly is says geostrata or some thing on them. I guess the reall question is if its okay to ride around them. BTW this is in the fairview and hines creek area

sound like sysmech holes,and i think the little wires sticking out are probabaly connected to the explosives at the bottom of the hole..

seismic testing, they put explosives in the holes and set them off. they record the resulting vibrations using geophones to search for pockets of oil or gas underground. the results determine whether the oil company builds a lease and moves in a drilling rig.
