Tumbleweed status update 2.0
Efforts to free up the X arm have continued through the week and into the weekend. With that, I am pleased to announce that the road to X Mid is cleared sufficiently enough that any personnel needing access to X mid (as well as any LN2 deliveries) should be able to traverse that section without issue.

Additionally, a path has been to cleared to X END which should allow us to address any pressing issues at that VEA. This path is a single lane, and should not be taken without the use of a high clearance vehicle (either of the two Chevy pickup's, or the Ford Explorer).

Please be aware that the wall of tumbleweeds along the entire road is quite high (up to 13ft + in some areas). Because of that, when approaching both the mid and end stations, blind corners are present. Special care should be given when rounding these corners.
