These two markers, near Teapot Dome and the Naval Petroleum Oil Reserve, clearly fall outside the scope of the blog. However, as I recently stopped and took photos of these markers, put up by the State of Wyoming, I thought I'd at least post them.
Teapot Dome is, of course, not associated with any sort of personal sacrifice, but unfortunately with scandal. The scandal was real, but perhaps a more fitting consideration is that this Natrona County Wyoming oilfield was a long serving Naval Petroleum Reserve, and only recently has that status been altered.
Part of these memorials also commemorates the Salt Creek Oil Field. An incredibly long-lasting Wyoming oil field.
