Jerry I can't also help but wonder if they possibly pulled something into the area before the thaw in the winter just knowing that drilling would be starting soon anyway. I mean the plan all along has been to drill, it was just finding the exact locations to put it. Now that the stripping and trenching has stopped, you might think that after the geo's do their thing drilling could begin.

I dont' really know if that is a valid assumption pulling the drill in during the winter though as the drill would be sitting idle for quite some time. Not personally having any direct experience, I'm just throwing it out in case anyone wanted to add anything more..... Out west in the logging industry, heavy equipment is quite often moved into place before the breakup season. I'm sensing that the "mud" out there might be a little thicker though.
