Our Notes
Access to the tower location was a very easy ride, and once at the location we were able to find most of the cement footings from all the different towers.
Along with the cement footings, we found the flagpole and a fair amount of debris/trash that we believe was from the correct era.
We also explored the 5618′ summit for the 25′ platform, but it was completely gone. We did find the #9 wire and were able to follow its path between the two locations for a long stretch.
