From the KNOWZONE
Pictures by Charles Burke
EVERGREEN LOOKING SOUTH on Tuesday.. 4 semi's and two pickups hauling equipment up to Cell phone towers at the top of the park.
The one trailer was loaded with an 80,000lb Electronic equipment building with 2 huge air conditioner units on it.
You might wonder what an 80,000 lb load would do to the pipes under the street. So do I. Even though these are private streets the tower owner evidently has a right of way to the forest road through the park. Larry Henson said they usually give some sort of warning before they come so he can be ready for them. This time they just opened the gate themselves and came in. The crane made its lifts after positioning 4 outriggers on the road. They made small indentations in the pavement.
When Bill Furgason and I went to the forest during the holidays many gravel trucks were paving the forest road with small egg sized gravel in preparation for this event.
During the event we broadcast a discription of what was going on over FRS CH5 on your park Know Zone radio. You would have been in the know if you had tuned in. Whenever something is going on the park from now on get the word out to your block captain. They will tell their respective coordinator and they will have it broadcast on CH5 by the duty KnowZone operator. Have something important report it to a block Captain or Key your radio Mike and ask or tell the Know Zone operator what's going on.
The know zone is going to operate 24/7 .. We need help... Want to help broadcast? Volunteer the CERT Team will teach you everything you need to know and be there until you can do it on your own.If 30 people volunteer that's 1 day a month per person. This is ideal for folks that may want to volunteer but can't because of health reasons.. You can do everything from your own home.
