What To Do
This is oil country. You can drive for miles and all you see are oil derricks pumping oil. Then you happen upon a small town and more of the same and repeat. One of those small towns is JAL. Nothing to do here, but take photos with the tiger at the sign to the town, walk the town and enjoy JAL Lake and the local park.
