dn0 Posted July 30, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 30, 2006 I'll have to remember to check back after dark to see what it looks like after dark. Hope everyone is out of the way up there; I doubt there's any homes, but it is obviously close to that visitor's center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
