Work was supposed to slow/stop due to upper part of lift line being in Bricknell Thrush territory. Hence the rush to get the Quad removed by May 15th. If I recall the no work period ends August 1st?

Haven't been over that side of the mountain in about a month or so, but I'm sure they're on schedule, the weather has been really good for construction the past month or so

I was in Casper WY about 25 years ago and was going to see them at some brewery there together. Trust me when I say there is no reason to go to Casper WY unless you like antelope and no trees.

+1 some of the most boring driving I've ever encountered.

Good show. They described it as more as "an evening with" vs a concert. Lead singer spoke a lot of the past and stories related to songs. One of the guitarist/singers sounded like Gregg Allman...so imagine Gregg Allman singing "Can't You See" and "Fire on the Mountain". They jammed out quite a bit on a number of songs so it was a pretty long set. Glad we went.

Fun Fact: Waylon Jennings has a pretty damn good version of Can't You See.

Nice!

They had a really neat video on Instagram of the blasting they did for the bottom terminal.

Again, cool pics. Nice to see the progress. I'm sure they'll be pretty active up there for the next few months.

A few pics from Saturday. Tower footings are poured along with the top terminal.
