Hello Ray - Yes, we noticed the activity and the new hut, also. We're trying to figure out who owns it and what it's for. Thank you, Cheryl -------- Ray Sypher wrote: Sirs; I have noted your excellent web-cam system for the AK volcanoes. I am fascinated at the beauty of the diff. locations(but not when foggy or snowing). My question involves the recent activity close-by the MT. Cleveland camera n.e. of Nikolski. I was shocked to see 3 men milling in front of the camera, knowing that(from wikipedia) that is probably 20% of the inhabitants of the area. So... picking mushrooms????? Anyhow, the next day we have this pc of eqpt. there(ultra-modern BBQ?)and the following day what appears to be(from the portion that's viewable).... a protected beacon??? I am certainly curious but don't need to know if it's some sort of secret device. Thanks for any information you can shed.
