The remains of one well, he adds, can still be seen if folks know where to look—behind the gas station at the intersection of Los Gatos Boulevard and Garden Lane.

The gas station is the Rotten Robbie station on Los Gatos Blvd.; I fill up there all the time. I'll have to have a look around next time I'm there.

Grim, are your parents near that location?

Photograph of pump unit atop an oil well in Los Gatos, Calif. The pump unit and well are in a fenced enclosure in the parking lot of a commercial office building on Los Gatos Boulevard near Garden Lane. According to the current owner, the well has not produced oil for many years, but unconfirmed reports suggest that the well yielded about 8 barrels of oil per day in 1953. Geologic and organic-geochemical information from this and other historical oil wells in the Los Gatos area provide important insights into the subsurface geology and geologic history of the southwestern Santa Clara Valley.

I don't see anything near that Rotten Robbies. It looks like there is a park across the street.
