Oil city is pretty much straight west of Saint Marys by at least 75 miles. About half the distance to the Ohio line.
The Saint Marys area is where the first elk were released back in the 20s in the effort to reinstate the herd.
They have grown in numbers to the point they are now scattered thruout the region. Benezett is recognised to
be the heart of the area. A large visitors center and large viewing areas are located there. This is the prime time as the bugeling
is in full swing. It has become a major tourist atttraction. Im 20 miles east of Benezett and went thru there both yesterday and today.
The large campground there was full of campers.
