AT&T phone only in that area, all the others stop around the Federal prison on 72. If you have anything else, get a Tracfone from WalMart. Glad you got back to a gate and you're right, the money is good.....![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

There are companies that hire singles (there are some at Gate Guard Services). Some have gates that are tailored for singles-usually they're only open certain hours. Sometimes you are asked to work what is called a slow gate. How you get food and sundries on a 24 hr. gate is a mystery to me. I've heard all kinds of stories. Andy's forum has a list of gate security companies and you can call around. www.myoldrvforum.com
Thanks. Called GGS last year and was nicely told this was for couples. It's the uncertainty of having work that keeps me from pulling the trigger. I might call the various companies in the summer and see if the heat opens up some opportunities. Might do the opposite of some and work summers and head to Mexico in the winter.

Well...It finally happened...our rig is moving next week and we are going to drill on a hunting ranch. We knew someday we would probably have a gate that had to be opened for every vehicle...well the time has come! I hope this will be one of our fast wells(19-21 days). One good thing about this is the fact that we usually only have a sheet or less a day of entries..weekends a half sheet or less.
We know the landowner and had contact with him when we drilled next to his property last year (nips the bottle constantly and complains about everything). It will definitly be an interesting month for us.

Yesterday about 6PM driving along the back road of our ranch I found this guy sleeping in the sun. Our company man that reads the pressures called his friend a game warden out of Laredo and he said they have had several reports of black cats north of Laredo. He also said they have 19 radio collard cougars between Freer and Cotulla.
