| | | Met up with elkhart007 the other day to visit a nearby Long Lines tower. It's not an extremely tall climb, but the fact that it was built on a mountain allows an amazing view of the world below. I shot both photos and video thanks to my little gopro camera. These towers created a microwave relay network across the nation sending out most television and phone calls until they were replaced by fiber optics and satellites in the 1980s. video here: http://youtu.be/beZPoIJ1g5U?hd=1 1.

When I say I'm 'clean and sober', it means I've showered and I'm headed to the liquor store. |

Thanks, The first time I tried the climb it was the dead of winter and I had planed on making it to the top by sunrise. I guess sunset is the next best thing, and this one turned out amazing.
