Come up 300 west in the first residence on the east side for the driveway.

You can come back to the hog barns and bring your manpower back to 35.

It's going to be the first residence, north of the Towson, north, east side of the road.
00:40
You come in the driveway, out in the cornfield.
00:44
There's a lane coming back where we've got 35 parts in, but we're going to have to pretty well pack this all by hand.
00:50
Okay, I'm clear.
00:53
Nookene,
00:54

01:40
Any water source back there?
01:47
There is no water source back here. We had 35 that's setting in the lane, but we're walked all into the swamp.
01:55
I mean, if you guys want to brave it with your grass truck, you guys are can, but I don't think I would drive anything out here. They already got a skid loader stuck in the middle of it.
02:03
No, that's okay. I was just checking.
02:05
Trying to figure out which lane you came in on. Was it the dirt road lane?
02:10
Colorado Cesar for one.
02:12
Long since you.
02:14
No county, around say 3, 1041.

300 West, first house north of 1,000 north on the east side of the road, is how we got in.
02:29
I see you guys over here north of us.
02:32
I'm not sure over there. We came in from the south.
02:34
Road 33.
02:36
Okay, clear.
02:37
The 64, do you have access?
02:41
601-104.
02:43
Go ahead.
02:46
You have your grass truck up to that house where 32 is parked.
02:49
Getting this cornfield that's north of that house,
02:52
this runs parallel to this fire on the west side. We're almost 50 yards to this cornfield.
02:56
They can hit it from here.
02:59
Okay, clear.
03:05
304, 302.
03:06
You want me and Holly come over there to the grass truck, and can they get to it?
03:10
Well, that's up to you, but we can definitely hit it from here with our booster line. If we get on the west side of this fire, it's right up to the cornfield.
03:19
Okay.
03:20
We'll head over there with a grass truck.
03:23
303, 302.
03:26
Go ahead. We're staged by the house for right now.
03:31
Okay,
03:33
if you can just have your manpower walk back here, a lot of you come up there and get you too.
