Hi Ray - I spoke with our field geophysics personnel - they said that the elevating the camera was possible, but it is easier to maintain and keep safe where it is, so unless there's an Augustine eruption, they don't want to move it. Thanks, cheryl -------- Ray Sypher wrote: Regards our last email pertaining to the weeds(which may or may not be removed by volunteers) in front of the A-H camera-view of the volcano......... Can the camera not be elevated on the same stanchion to clear the weed-tops? Just a thought for next years maintenance.
