Bumper Sticker Message

Seen in the parking lot of the WalMart Super Center on Route 15 south of Mansfield, PA. On any given day we can find vehicles from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas...just about any place that has an interest in drilling or piping natural gas from our Marcellus Shale deposits. This truck, however, has PA plates and the message is from a landowners' co-op involved with mineral (natural gas) rights.



Note two things before you move on:
  • 1) This is a new truck. Paid for by drilling/mineral rights lease?
  • 2) This is a new FORD truck, not one of the bailed out Government Motors models. There is a Chevy dealer in town as well as a Ford dealer. Not sure what the message may be in that.

"Pass Gas It's a Movement"


Oh, and the whitetailgas.com? That's a company (Whitetail Natural Gas Services) working every aspect of the gas production arena. And the RIT sticker is for Rochester Institute of Technology.

Yeah, nothing but a bunch of hicks and bitter clingers out here in the wilds of north-central Pennsylvania.

Funny. Glad to see a non-gov't vehicle in use. Ford's the #1 best-seller up here, by a wide margin. The Daily Worker, er, News did a review of vehicle registration and found that Fords comprise 25% of the trucks on the roads in Anchorage.

I think that these stickers are just meant to promote their services.
