00:01
We still don't have legal weather at Woodruff.
00:04
It did come up a mile, but I need about another half a mile.
00:07
Not overly confident that it's going to.

Do you want me to have them head to Rhinelanderer versus Eagle Rivers?

Whichever's faster for them.

Air One, four souls, in route to potentially Woodruff, but probably most likely either Eagle River or Rhinelander or still waiting on to answer which one you want us to meet the IFT truck at.
