I have often stopped at the oil well pullout a bit closer to CR48 instead of the top of the hill in front of the houses, having on one occasion seen an unfavorable response from the "house on the hill owners". One time while viewing birds from near the oil well a guy from the oil company pulled in. He was actually very, very friendly, asked all kinds of questions about what kinds of birds I was looking at, asked about the various types of hawks in that area, looked through my scope at the Bald Eagle nest, etc. and seemed genuinely interested in birds, nature and nature photography. He told me I was welcome to park and look from the oil well location any time. It is not quite as ideal as the top of the hill, but the majority of the reservoir can be seen fairly well from there too and avoids any confrontation. I have actually always had a favorable response (so far) from parking by oil well setups and the people that work them have (so far) all been friendly. Yes, I am female, and perhaps that is part of it, but most of them truly seem interested in nature and what I have seen.
