Opps, forgot to insert picture. DUH!
In your picture here that GT-5 is at the right, out of the pic- way up at the headwaters of the lake in the canyon. Steepest, worst section going down, but the machinery is on a flat bench above the lake just a little.
ALSO- There is the possibility that the lake level has risen enough that it too is now underwater. There's an inexpensive helicopter tour outfit over at Hoffstadt Bluffs Visitor Center. I think before I made that hike again, I'd just hire a fly-over of the whole canyon at low-altitude and survey everything that way. It would take 10 minutes, tops. Probably cost 150 bucks but that sure beats the #@#$ out of that hike!
P.S.- they cannot and will not land in the 'National Volcanic Monument'. I've tried that already and no one will do it.......ugh.
