Has anyone noticed what they have done with the Cell tower at the Whiskey Rapids trailhead? Pretty neat! They've covered it with a plastic-like material that looks just like bark, and on the top they have attached "branches" with needles and everything....It looks a little different than the surrounding trees but certainly looks better than a big metal tower! I took a few pics that Ill post later...I was impressed!
I saw it last summer, at least you cant see it from the road unless you are looking for it!

When I saw it last fall, I half expected it to stand up and walk closer to me when my back was turned - it looked just like a disguise that Scooby Doo would wear.
Ya it looks very much like that except they put a very realistic "bark" around the pole...Ill post a couple pics when I get home

I drove past it last summer and thought it had been moved or taken down. I totally did not see it. Now I know why. I think that's much better.

That is so great. It's one thing to have a solution for hiding the towers, but to actually see the time and energy being spent on this is very nice to see. I assume the 'phone companies' are paying for this. Good job.
