Driving a drilling rig 60 miles on a frozen river, fending off curious bears and meandering moose at drilling sites, and drilling for days in 60 below zero temperatures are just a few of Wayne Westberg's memorable moments.
Westberg, owner of M & W Well Drilling in Anchorage, AK, literally has drilled wells night and day for 31 years. He has persevered in the drilling business despite Alaska's bitterly cold temperatures, winters during which sunlight lasts only a couple of hours a day in some months, and the occasional wild animal visitor at his drilling sites.
