571 - 9/05/04 - 18:55 Cropped view. The station had all of the guy wires greased in order to add protection against corrosion. That made it difficult to attach to it.	572 - 9/05/04 - 19:10 Cropped view.	573 - 9/05/04 - 19:21
574 - 9/05/04 - 20:52 An overall tower shot, with the clouds in the background. You can see the B and C leg guy wires.	575 - 9/05/04 - 21:05 Cropped view.

580 - 9/05/04 - 21:18 Cropped view.	581 - 9/05/04 - 21:26 Cropped view. The guy wire is now temporarily connected to the tower.	582 - 9/05/04 - 21:30 Cropped view. The lift cable is being raised back up in order to do the A leg.

595 - 9/05/04 - 22:52 Cropped view. But, because the work day has ended, the most that can be done is to connect the hoist wire to the top of the tower. John was the first one to swing across in order to catch a ride on one of the other lift cables.	596 - 9/05/04 - 22:53 Cropped view. Beau was second to cross.	597 - 9/05/04 - 22:54 Cropped view.
