Is that just past N3000 RD?
My place is just to the west of N3000 (also known as County Road 1000). When you get to Logan Road, turn to the west and go to the white mailbox about a quarter mile from Logan. I'll put a sign out like I did last time, saying OSA with an arrow.
As long as I don't have to open any of those electric gates, I'm good. More than once, we had gates with cracked handles.
Ha!! Father-in-law always said that as long as one was wearing rubber overshoes, they would never feel the electrical charge. We were out repairing a break in the middle of the fence. I was pulling the wire from one direction and he had the stretchers hooked to the other wire. As he was trying to get "my" wire into the clamp of the stretchers, he noticed the wire jerking.
Yep, I was feeling it even with rubber boots.

HAHA! Old man's tale that rubber boots will insulate you. Way to many impurities in rubber boots to do that. Tires won't, inner tubes won't, etc. We tried them all stringing electric fence over the years.
Yeah... rubber heater hose don't work either. 
Too much carbon in the mix.

Yup.
Carbon black. We have a plant here in town that supplies a whole lot of it to the major tire manufacturers in this part of the country.
Nasty place. I can't believe the workers don't have black lung. They might, I just don't know.
Signs in several stores in town saying if you work at carbon black, don't enter the store with your work shoes.
They get an hour a day after work on the clock to shower and clean up. Some take the hour to do that, and some just go home an hour early covered in that stuff. It doesn't clean up easily.
They lost a major lawsuit several years ago for polluting the city and the rural areas around it. The trees were black, the grass was black, and the road leaving the place was black. They spent tons of money buying out and relocating a small community that had developed around it.
We would have that carbon black on our porch occasionally if the wind was right. We are only 2 miles away as the crow flies.
So, if one gets to the electrical substation, does that mean they went too far? Is the barn "L-shaped?" (I'm looking on Google Maps.)
OK. Let's see if I can make this work. Info from the last ENS at Gary's place eighteen months ago ...

And, what about canopies and folding chairs? Want me to bring name tags again?
