YOU NEED TO GO TO CLEVELAND WITH YOUR CAMERA. That place is a freakin' gold mine!

I totally agree with you all about this incredible construction! I just wish Cleveland was closer to home and that I could have a week or two with perfect weather to go there and get tons of pics. There's so much to see that I couldn't visit it all no matter how hard I tried. I also wouldn't know where exactly to start.

Before I forget, I also found a distribution setup with THREE 3-phase boxes serving a single customer! Unfortunately, the link didn't get saved in my other article and I don't recall the location. :( (Which is why I started this new article.)

How much of a drive is it to Cleveland from where you're at? I suspect it's a similar situation to my Con-Ed safari, which took about two hours on the road each way. It was worth it, though, with those rare white Hewletts in the air!

All the stuff I found in Google Street View is pretty close together, so it could be made into an "in and out" type of mission pretty easily I think.

It would take at least 3.5 hours to get up there so I'd want to spend more than one day there. Also, thank you for sharing your street view finds.

Sounds like a bit of a hike over there, but still doable. It's too bad I'm 9 hours away or I'd do it! Many of these are epic poles. Don't hesitate to let me know if you need help finding any more poles in street view.
