Trip to North Rattlesnake Butte Repeater Site

                         June 18, 2009

We replaced the batteries, some of the wiring, and cleaned up the area.

The road to the top of the butte.

Almost at the top.  You need 4 wheel drive for this this trip.

View to the east, with the Busch ranch headquarters in the distance.

Looking southwest toward the Spanish Peaks.

View to northwest, with Greenhorn Peak and the Wet Mountains in the distance.

Coming down, slowly.

The road needs a little work.
