Photos

This first one shows the lines and insulators themselves. I have no idea what voltage this is, maybe some of you will.



This next picture shows the home, sorry about the glare. Notice the access to the home is the dirt road under the lines.



This next photo is the best I could do to show the lines and the home. It is my best guess that at it's closest the line is about 45' from the home.



In this next photo I am standing almost in front of the house looking back up the driveway, the home is over my left shoulder as I am taking this photo.

You can see my van in the driveway, it's about 800' behind van to the public road.

You can also see a camper where I suspect the HO is living, notice his metal camper is much closer to the lines than his home. I did not knock on his door as this was early morning.





This last photo shows the base of the newer towers. Two sets of lines are without a doubt new, however they could have been replacing an older set of smaller lines. Many of the supports further down the line are all wood, perhaps they are changing out the wood for the metal? In any case you can see the earth has recently been disturbed under each of these new metal poles.
