Gatekeeper; We finally left the gate. The reasons we left are twofold. The dust was killing us. We were positioned just 20' from a dirt road that was the route to at least 4 other wells and the dust was so bad that we were having a hard time breathing.
Unfortunately that is part and parcel of gate guarding. We literally shovel the motorhome out periodically. Dust and grime covers everything within 12 hours or less. My DW spent a couple of thousand dollars getting treated for breathing issues during the summer. There were days here where you could not see more than about 15-20 feet in front of you. Our entreaties to various officials of both the exploration and drilling companies fell on deaf ears. OCCASIONALLY we would get watered down. It is better now, but breathing and visibility are still a problem. We need the job and don't know anyone who pays as much so we just "cowboy up".
