1. A staging area has been set up at the Kansas Department of Transportation strip just west of 303rd Road on the north side of US 160, you will need to park there and then ride to the search area by bus.
2. We will turn any non-first responders around and direct them to the staging area described in number 1. if volunteers try to drive to the ranch on their own.
3. This is strictly a walking search, so no horses side by sides or four wheelers on the property
4. Once you are transported to the ranch you will be required to check in and give your personal information
5. Bring your own water, snacks, sunscreen and bug repellent.
6. Please take your trash with you
7. Any gate that is opened must be closed behind you. These properties have cattle on them so please do not try to have contact or try to pet the cattle
8. The time to meet at the KDOT strip is 10:00 am. There is no way to gauge how many volunteers we will have, and although we are grateful for their service we may have to limit the numbers to a controllable number.
9. Please be patient
10. The landowners have requested that the media not come onto the ranch and video, again this is private property
11. Lastly, when you are assigned, an area please search only that area. All outbuildings and residences, tank batteries have already been searched by first responders and are clear
