Paul made it to the top to retrieve the beautiful light tan Fred Locke U-926A. He cut one end of the wire and it lowering it down to me. [id=99527206] NOTE: I should explain that it is typically not condoned nor advisable to climb poles with wires on them. In this case, the line has been dead and abandoned for many years. All wires were cut by the power company to prevent any power from unintentionally reaching this permanently dead line. While the poles are original, or of such age to make it likely that they could be rotted at the ground, new pole stubs were installed recently enough to ensure the poles were still solid. Only one pole was climbed.
