He is in Rainbow Lake now and I guess they had to get special units in to pull in all the pick ups and line trucks to the lease..I don't know what they are but will try and post pics when he gets back next week.
This oilfield stuff is over my head, I think I will just stick to cattle.. :lol:

I stood in a Travel Agency in Perth Australia with another guy I worked with. There were two jobs that needed one of us. Rainbow lake and Rio. We flipped a coin and I lost and got Rainbow, he went to Rio.

I may have worked with them Mrs.G, or at least in the same area. If they run heavy equipment and I haven't worked with them, odds are I will, especially if they ever find themselve in or near a place called Jedney.
Or if they operate wells in that area I may have run across them. Who am I looking for?
Those folks must make awful good money to risk sinking in muskeg and sliding on those icy roads,looks like alot of support crews are needed to get to the actual job site.
