Thought I'd start a new topic for Gate Guards to use for comments. Like the moderator suggested-keep technical stuff, recipes, mechanical, etc. where they belong. Lets hear from everyone sucking down that caliche dust.

Our present location is not nearly as dusty as some of our previous locations. We are out farther from the heavily traveled roads. Hardly any traffic goes by us and we have had very few sales people out here. Our next location will be off a black top road..maybe not much dust there also.

No complaint here, as we are off a paved road and the company has a water truck come in daily to water the road to the site and the work areas near us. Still only working 10/hr days, but may go 24/7 in a couple of weeks. No salesmen visit this site, darn it, no freebies this winter...:B.. Will be at this gate till at least 3/12 and maybe longer.

Will arrive at the Whitsett Tx GGS yard tomorrow and hope to get a gate by the first of the week (if not before). We are rookies and looking forward to the experience. We have been following several blogs and have asked for and received help from some of you. Thanks!

We had some pipeline workers who watered occasionally; but they're gone now. Thank goodness we got rain last nite. It's chilly and overcast here this a.m. We are having to work two 12 hour shifts because we get an occasional vehicle at nite. We haven't figured out how to hear the bell when we're sleepimg. Or we're just afraid we'll miss it.BTW-anyone able to get the spell check to work here?

Yesterday there were 4 at the Whisett yard waiting for gates, but I heard there are Pioneer gates available. From what I hear Pioneer will occasionally do drug, alcohol, firearms searches and this includes the Gate Guard's RV...

Texan...sorry, you look like you have a lot of water. We have a lot of water but at least we have a very nice built up level pad to park on. We never get water close to our home.

Well we have a pond behind our rv. Wow that was a hard and steady rain. But we have not found any damage outside today.

Yep, true water front property......including the addition of bull frogs.

Only trouble is, we are down to about 30-40 gallons of fuel.....Hope they furnish the service folks water wings...:B
