Okay we're cooking with gas now boys!!  

This Ohio crew really tore it up down there.. and were a big hit.. setting the standard for "how it's done" both on the recieving side as well as those coming in..  Awesome job guys!!

"Today the whole Ohio group converged on one ranch and we tore out miles of barbed-wire fence before noon. This pasture was burnt completely bare in many areas. There is nothing living to hold the topsoil in many areas and without more rain, many fear the soil will blow away. The fires started near where we worked today and burned incredibly hot. We heard stories of guns melting in fireproof gun safes and coins melting together into a ball from the incredible heat from the fire created by the high winds that led to so many problems. We also heard about volunteer firefighters working to save the homes of others while their own homes burned and neighbors leaving their ranches to take the tractor to plow under the grass and create a fire barrier around homes and buildings. The Clark County community has really rallied but they have a long way to go. We had a great, efficient and hard working crew. Everyone was impressed how much our 24-person Ohio group got done so quickly at every ranch we visited. It should be noted, though, that the enormity of the work that needs done is incredible. This will take years for the community to recover from and we could stay and tear out fence for months and still not get it all done. The need for help with labor in Clark County Kansas will be there for a long time."
