Where the towers stood has been logged and only cement footings remain (and a whole lotta stickers & burrs). Bertha Hill can be seen in the far distance.

All 4 cement footings from the most recent 100′ tower were still on site as was a cement footing for the base of the stairs.

We also found telephone wire
