Those power lines have thousands of volts running through them . It would only take one break to fry someone! But besides that I beleive that as of next year they are going to officially close the bottom section of powerline trail . This is with the same stuff as the late opening of the little naches area . And the new quad trails. I have included a link that answers a few questions .Tankota said:Also, aren't these lines just to power the repeater antennae at the top of the hill?
