Photo of NorthCentralOklahoma in a boat near the Maranon river in the Amazon jungle, in Peru while doing seismic oil exploration in the Department of Loreto, Lagunas District of the Alto Amazonas Province of Peru. The large metal crates in the center of the boat are the components to the Digital Field System (Model DFS-3) that we used to record the results from the explosions we set off in the jungle.
Photo of NorthCentralOklahoma on a deslizador, the primary mode of travel in the Department of Loreto, Lagunas District of the Alto Amazonas Province of Peru. This is on the Marañón River which is about a mile across at this point. The Marañón is the principal or mainstem source of the Amazon River.

Photo by NorthCentralOklahoma of part of the jungle canopy in the Amazon jungle. The tent in the bottom of the photo where we camped out and slept is about 10 feet tall. The trees are over 100 feet in height.
Photo by NorthCentralOklahoma of members of my seismic crew holding a piece of a boa they killed. The snake was originally between 20 and 20 feet long. The crew killed the snake by throwing a few pounds of nitramone (dynamite) at the snake and blowing it up into pieces. This was the largest piece left.
