Helicopter Water Drop on highway 71 near Bastrop

As we were leaving Hyatt Lost Pines Monday afternoon we saw several helicopters dropping water just down the road on the other side of Highway 71.  We stopped to watch them for a couple of minutes before heading in the opposite direction looking for an alternate way home.

Here's a short video I took of one of the helicopters who was filling up at a nearby pond and made several passes/drops over the Wyldwood area just off Highway 71 West of Bastrop on the Union Chapel fire.

I have had some problems attempting to upload via Blogger so I want ahead and uploaded it to YouTube.
