Loving County, Tx hijinks
Once again, one of our base stations has been vandalized while on duty in Loving County, Texas. In the vicinity of the Pecos River along Highway 302 This time, the antenna was stolen. Nothing else taken or damaged.
Previously, we have had several cables cut and if I recall correctly, ELS had an entire base stolen in the same area. I couldn’t say if it was competing field crews, angry landowners, random idiots or a modern day horse thief type but it is getting annoying.
Yes, we have the game cameras but I do not believe they were in use at the time. It has been several months since we’ve had any problems. We have also changed policy to prohibit control points from being established or used along public right-of-way. Any future violation of the policy will result in crew being responsible for repair/replacement.
In the meantime, if you’re working in Northern Reeves/Loving County, watch your equipment. I’m waiting on the serial number and type of antenna which I will post when received.
