Okay, okay, it's actually a radio telescope, and just two of the tiny ones there. I drove the three youngest up Friday night to see the observatory. They were already closed to tours, and you can't drive back there. We walked about a mile in to the smaller dishes, but the giagantic dish was still about 4 miles back from the looks of it. I couldn't even get close enough to get a good picture of the big one:
I saw several old houses I planned to stop and get photos of on the trip back, but it turned dark as we were leaving.
