Hey (name withheld), how far up did you get? I just got the last fence open. I'm up into the field now. You can make it. Yeah, if we're not going to come up and put it out there, no sense of us coming up, all we got to do is make sure they don't leave it unattended. Yeah, I'm looking for somebody up here. I don't see anybody yet, but it's not going anywhere for right now. It's just dry hay. Yeah, a horse buggy going up through there from the road down here. 161? 661, 963, 941 out to the John Day McGraw Ball Field for train. Pretty good. Yeah, I don't think this is going anywhere, correct? It's got about a 20-yard buffer of green around what hasn't burnt yet. Okay, I'm not even going to try to come up then. As long as if you make contact with somebody, just tell them don't leave it unattended, we'll come back home. Well, that's the problem. There's nobody up here. Can I like the depot, Poo? Patch. Okay, I'm stopping here at Dave Franks, please. Yeah, there's probably another good acre, acre and a half of down hay that is all brown that they're trying to burn off. Big contact so we can do notification. I talked to the guy at Dave Franks' old place and he said it's the guy that lives out back farther that's doing it. Yeah, his name is Irvin, but he's not up here.
