It would be helpful if you created a map and posted it as a link, showing the area bounded by the road listings. Also the relation to a major route US 60 SR 260 etc.
What about those Technicians/Companies that NEED access to the Greens Peak radio site to maintain their radio communications equipment?
If such a need arose appropriate measures would be taken to ensure the continuation of vital communications equipment. Personnel would be escorted to and from the appropriate conditions if needed.
