46 county. We're on top of the mountain at the power line.
00:04
There's a gate right there before you go under the power line to the right.
00:09
Is it back in there? Do you know?
00:15
For my understanding of what the caller was stating,
00:19
it's going to be a new build.
00:22
There's some excavation work being done and whoever was building, they're building scrap materials.
00:31
So it's construction material that's being burned.
00:34
It might be along the road.
00:35
He didn't exactly state because he didn't know exactly where the law was other than underneath the...
00:42
Power lines that's got the three on it, guys.
00:48
Well, there's two power lines right here where we're at.
00:55
And low one on out in front of that, if that's what they're meaning.
01:03
Okay, he's up rush 46 and route group 5.
01:06
We'll be going in on in on emergency.
01:09
Press 46, 10 for a break, T-46.
01:14
Good morning.
01:17
If you're at the first set of three, I believe he's meaning the second set, because he did state double.
01:23
Sorry about that.
01:24
He did say double power lines,
01:27
double set of three, and that's what it looks like you're on our map.
01:32
However,
01:34
he did say something about Nathaniel Drive, which is down under.
01:39
It's the road before you cut off.
01:42
You've got to cut off South Branch Mountain before you get on.
01:46
Nathaniel, or you can go all the way to the top, but I'm not exactly sure which road it is.
01:52
Go ahead.
01:54
We're going to rolling out,
01:56
kind of drop down back down over.

Yeah, but I turned on to Nathaniel, so I'm going out Nathaniel, let you know what I find.
