Thanks Rick -- my guys are in the danger zone too much but trying to hold them back is like trying to hold back a grizzly. They are determined to keep phone service working to people who are still in the burned out areas or returning. I've been working almost non-stop wit the chain of command and all our engineering and design support to try to keep our links out working. We've lost a LOT though and are just barely limping along. I did get phone service back to the area around Tonasket and Republic but we didn't get enough lines working or cell, just landlines and the 911 center and that's very limited.
