Pump Jack Art

Luling was founded as a railroad town in 1874 but it really grew after Edgar Davis discovered oil in 1922.  The watermelon-eating kids were see-sawing up and down while I was there so I guess these wells are still producing some oil.  There were a whole bunch of other decorated pump jacks in town.  I saw the kids and the killer whale along the highway on the way north to Lockhart.
