Disappointed Scavengers 2
Piece of a cross arm from a power pole cut down in hopes of stealing copper wire from the power lines. Unfortunately for the scavengers, the lines are steel not more valuable copper.
Fortunately for the rest of us this power system has been inactive since the late seventies. It is part of the massive electrical system with hundreds of poles that once served the 3,450 acre Green River Launch Complex and Missile Base in Emery County, Utah.

Happy Telegraph Tuesday!
