Are the buildings that were up on the hill still there or have those been torn down?
Yep, still there. All over that canyon there are still cables all over the place as well.Are the buildings that were up on the hill still there or have those been torn down?
Power is really the biggest issue. I'm not sure you want to be running a generator out there full time.Went to Dangling Rope about ten days ago, had a delicious sandwich, norishisng shot of whisky, and reminisced about the past. Challenges ahead for mid-lake fuel. Alas, it can be done. Did not notice any buoys at the time restricting access. I wonder if it will come to pass mondo tire breakwaters are emplaced someplace along the main channel with a relatively narrow cross-section and done in a fashion similar to those at Antelope Point (i.e., 'weighted' cable anchors in vertical, or near-vertical, walls as opposed to horizontal anchorage surfaces). That's what I would do, but hey, they have not yet ("...but the word; 'yet'?..."; High Fideleity, Jack Black) called me in order to solve their problems...lol.
They could probably utilize the same infrastructure that supported dangling rope, they would just have to run power lines to the solar panels and probably do some upgrading.Power is really the biggest issue. I'm not sure you want to be running a generator out there full time.
Unless they locate a new fuel station somewhere near DR (i.e. the same location, which has been ruled out as far as I know), they will have to run a very long conductor. This would necessarily have to be high voltage to prevent line losses from eating up all power without needing a truly massive (=expensive) conductor.They could probably utilize the same infrastructure that supported dangling rope, they would just have to run power lines to the solar panels and probably do some upgrading.
Sure, they removed the marina... But there are still buildings, solar, and a water treatment area that were associated with DR. I wonder if there is a plan to demolish these or utilize them in the future.
Ya'know, boatdaddy, you could be right on....look what they did with Calico...:Maybe the plan is to keep it closed, reopen it as a ghost town and charge entrance fee's.
