Comment: Looking south. This was a trip to fix the antennas that had broken due to the ice buildup on them. The topmost antenna is buried in the snow at the bottom of the pole some- where and it smashed the southerly facing maroon coloured antenna on the way down. Notice that the snow is right up to the top of the concrete blocks.

Comment: Looking southeast. This trip was to remove the radio repeater from the site, as we found that the ice buildup and wind loading on the antennas was too much and they were being smashed every winter. It just became too expensive to maintain and was abandoned as a radio repeater site.
