"The lights of drill-rig towers glimmered in the distance, far off across the unihabited immensities of the Escalante benchlands. They passed, from time to time, familar names on little metal signs at turnoffs along the road: Conoco, Arco, RExaco, Gulf, Exxon, Cities Service."
"The bastards are everywhere," Hayduke grumbled. "Let's go get those rigs."(pg. 150)
The first thing that comes to mind when I read this quote is the recent oil spill in the Gulf. They say that they are working as hard as they can to stop the spill but unfortunately the damage has been done. So many animals and the ocean have suffered because of this. Now I understand why the monkey wrench gang hated machines so much.
