For the past few months, a study has being conducted in the area of the farm. The gas company is finding out what is under the grass and trees, looking for more gas storage or even gas itself. It is all very high tech stuff with wires stretching everywhere. I have no idea how it is done but I know they use fiber-optic cables and dynamite. Up until now their actions were not obvious, other than all the cables and trucks both large and small. But this afternoon they were noisy.
They were picking up their equipment, using a helicopter. Men on the ground would connect the line to the bag of supplies, then the helicopter would roar and lift the load up, still danging on the long line. When four bags were attached, the helicopter flew away back to home base, only to return in ten minutes and begin the process all over again. They were picking up the sacks from our farm this afternoon and they will continue tomorrow too, as we noticed several dotted around the farm during our gator ride.
It seems incongruous to see all this high tech equipment in this obscure part of the country. We wondered what the cows were thinking about all this noise.
