Oil in the Rocky Mountains
Sorry, people, this one has nothing to do with bikes.
I'm reading a book by Hammond Innes called Campbell's Kingdom, first published in 1947. It's a novel about finding oil in the Canadian Rockies and from what it says in the book it seems to be based around Quesnelle Lake in British Columbia. On Google Earth that's about 125 miles West of Jasper. I know that there are huge oilfields in the Edmonton -Calgary area to the East of the Rockies but I was wondering if HUBB members in that area (there does seem to be a lot of members in BC and Alberta) could tell me whether there are any wells actually in the Rockies. Come to think of it perhaps Quesnelle is to the West of the Rockies, I believe there are several other ranges running parallel to them- the McKenzie, Cariboo and a few others, perhaps it's in one of those. I've lost my map.
