The camera on the salt flats

[kiwi belly tank]

Which direction does the camera on the salt flats face?

North, it's looking directly at the cutting in the Silver Island Mountains, that's Tetzlaff peak on the left.

I have not thought this through, but I wonder.  At 1:00 PM daylight savings time, would the shadow of the pole point north?  Maybe a cold beverage would help me find the answer.

Pilot Peak is in Nevada & I don't think it can be seen from there due to the Silver Island Mts. The peak in the background is Graham Peak & the camera is pointing directly at the cutting from over by the dyke so it's pointing a red pussy hair to the east of due north.

Actually, stay 'tee is correct.  That is Pilot Peak (in Nevada) off in the distance.  The saddle slightly to the right of the pylon is called Silver Island Pass.  That's Tetzlaff Peak on the left.  Graham Peak is out of view to the right.  Moving to the northeast, the peaks (all out of view) to the right of the pass are:  Lamus, Jenkins, Campbell, then Graham, and finally Cobb.  Moving southwest, to the left of the pass are Tetzlaff, Rishel, and Volcano Peaks.  I drove all the way around them on the Silver Island Loop Road last year.  I even took the spur off to Floating Island (no, it's NOT "Floating Mountain" - get a good map!).

Ok, thanks. North-ish.

Aliens have appeared in the hazy, smoky fog!

Apparently, they were around for awhile.
And, yes - it's SMOKEY.

It looks like some vehicles have appeared on the salt.  A good sign for sure.

Looks like camera is down again.

Once the mother ship is repaired the aliens will clean the lens and be on their way!  :-P
Or they may be just wondering where all the salt went!

If it's white up there right now it's snow.

I was thinking it's covered in ice...

The guys at the University are good at taking care of the camera but they do not get out that way regularly.  I bet they will have it fixed soon.
