Do you think there's going to be anywhere when they get this shut off to get tank for 41 back there and hit it with a deckline like we did last time?
00:43
On the property owner, our best route of travel for tanker 41 would be to come from that wood and that south of the pole and then straight north.
00:54
The ditch is too deep off of 600 North to get the tanker through.
00:59
Okay, is your real deal?
01:01
Do I wear anything through there?
01:05
Yeah, they'll have to pull in a bit in a residence.
01:11
Okay, if I can get a pad clear with all these semi-trucks and farm trucks up here, I'll send them on that.

The owner's on the phone now. I'll see if I can have them meet them up on 600 North and lead them back there.
