All right, we're coming down to the Interstate right at 134 to the east.
00:26
We'll hit it from this side.
00:28
It's already made its way up the hill going south from our first spot, so we have no access there.

I have not heard any ego responders now.

I'm coming out for water, about 134 standard at the bridge.
04:36
Okay.
04:37
We're going to make a pretty good headway to the south through the cut corn.
04:43
So we can get a couple more rigs to the east side of 134th in the field.
04:49
Then we'll hopefully be able to stop it there.
