Regrettably, after taking the above picture the battery in our camera chose that moment to die. The way the machine works is pretty fascinating though! We stayed long enough to watch the drilling rig drill and pound the second section into the ground, then watched how they swung another section of pipe+drill bit (the drill bit extensions are on a second truck, pre-staged within the pipe) onto the drilling rig and hooked it all up. I will be back out there next week to take more pictures.
