Saturday Work "Party", expanded


Its Saturday, and a group is working on the engine of the wrecker.
Note the 2 radar antennas (a better view). The LOPAR Acquisition is just over the wrecker, and a tracking radar is behind the white pole. (The Target Tracking Radar and the Missile Tracking Radar look identical.)

The wrecker is an important part of the working site, and the site restoration.
Many items of this transportable Nike system are quite heavy (a launcher is 7 tons) and motorized mechanical assistance is definitely helpful.

Please note: All radars were actually at the top of "Wolf Ridge" nearby, however that site is abandoned, and part the road collapsed in the 1989 earthquake.
