Junction of NYS Rt 28 and Rondaxe Road (Herkimer CR 93), truly a road to adventure. National Grid 46kV subtrans (from Boonville) and 4.8 kV delta underbuild, with switches (and 15 kV hardware). View to the west, just outside of Old Forge, (Town of Webb) in the Adirondacks. 8-12-2014.
Went to a girls night in Raleigh a few weeks ago and just got around to upload them. I like powerlines.
In early July and 1600 feet, the wine berries are baring some fruit. I let them lay three months for the hen and her brood, deer, possums, coons, coyotes, and friends. Then I made a chutney for pancakes and I had a cup for the West Virginia trip to Canaan Valley. The fruit is probably ripe there, too. It's nice to have some Nature's best of gifts.
Instead of waiting for the lines to be fixed properly, people have taken it upon themselves to run their own powerlines.
I believe that this is the piece of primary cable that the lineman cut away to repair the wire-down fault on 5 November. Note that to the left of the old splice, the cable is green with normal copper oxidation. But to the right of the splice, the wire is discolored in a manner that suggests high temperature.
