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".

![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/grin.gif "grin") I sort of figured that!!!
I guess the yard is full of waiting RV Gate Guards in Carrizo Springs.
They think the next couple of weeks should start the NEW YEAR big and all will be at work soon.
Glad We are working. Nice rain today...if for a Gate Guard there is EVER a NICE RAIN!!!!

There seems to be a number of gate guard service companies in Texas. Has anyone compiled a list of those companies, contact info, what they provide, etc?
For those who are working gates now and have motor homes, how do you keep your propane tank filled?
Thanks
