Is he heading towards 40th or 50th or 50th? Are you on the north side of 50th?
00:58
Yeah, he's south of 50th heading southbound through the pasture.
01:03
It looked like maybe a red, it's just a red pickup.
01:07
And when he saw us, he took off south pretty quick.
01:12
That boy, he got me and 66 down here at 40th in Averhill.
01:19
Okay, I'd come,
01:22
between 40th and 50th, he's heading kind of, uh...
01:27
well,
01:29
southeast from here, so he's kind of drifting towards, yeah, he's going about 50, 60 mile an hour straight south on these Wallfield roads.
01:43
66, let me know if there's a gate over there off of 40th.

I just landed it to change batteries.
02:07
I was gonna head that direction,
02:09
get closer to it.
02:12
Yeah.
02:19
Four standby.
02:21
I've got a visual. He just stopped in an oil well.
02:26
And it looks like he's going to be a pumper.
02:28
He's getting out and looking at the unit,
02:30
so I don't think it's going to be anything.
02:44
Two to four, where did you say that truck was that was heading south?
02:48
Is it west of Haverhill?

Yeah, it's west of Haverhill and just south of 50th.

Like you say, he just stopped an oil well, got out,
02:58
checked some equipment, and just got back in the red truck heading southbound.

03:25
I've got a visual on him.
03:28
I've got binoculars here.
03:30
He's stopping at another well, doing the same thing, so I say we can disregard.
03:35
It looks legit.
