But I got you. Did you hear? Yeah. Okay. So, what did you hear? I heard it. It sounded like it hit something. Okay. It over cororrected and then obviously I think it rolled a little bit. Okay. Right. Did you see anybody take off in there? Okay. No. All right. But if you guys need to go down to the creek, there's some tires down there that'll take you all the way down. Okay. And then you guys can cut across and it'll go up towards the road. Gotcha. Do you rent or own this place? I own it. You own it. Okay. What's your first name? Gotcha. Okay.

Um, so yeah, we're going to try not to disturb at all unless you guys have to wait for probably WPS to get the wires out of the way and then I think it's easiest for Joe Raider to come flip it on its side and then you guys kill the battery or flip it back over or Yeah, I think once it's flipped, I think it'll be pretty easy.
