I'm waiting for some traffic to clear so that I can pull my vehicle over and take a look.
00:49
As far as water in the river,
00:51
I don't think that there's any water in the vehicle itself. It looks from what I saw,
00:57
and I will know in just a minute now that these people are moving their vehicle.
01:02
It looks like it's on all four wheels.

Okay, not doing a lot of water.

Okay, through the canyon 611, Sam 17.
02:08
Go, Sam.
02:11
I got all that on the vehicle.
02:14
Are you going to need the dive team to hook the vehicle or do you think someone can just go out and hook it or how deep is the wire to walk out to try and hook the vehicle?
02:26
Let me check with my water expert. Hold on.

Mike, I'm about three minutes out from the cache. I can wait for you.

Test is probably going to end up being non-emergent. I should be there in about seven minutes.
03:20
I know we have some gear to the store from diving yesterday, so it will take me a second to do that.
03:28
Copy.
03:35
Retanion 611-717 to figure out if you're going to actually need the dive team to hook the vehicle or is it close enough or shallow enough that they're not needed?
