X-Arm Tumbleweeds Status/Photos

There is roughly 1-lane access 3km down the X-arm from the Corner Station (but still exercise caution because that lane already had tumbleweeds creeping back to reclaim what was theirs!).

Since the sun sets fast around 4pm, wanted to snap a few photos of the arms for historical purposes, so I used our Building Cameras (and since I don't know how to get those images off the computer, I snapped photos with my phone).  Here's (attached) how we look for:

  1. Corner Station to MX (and EX in distance)
  2. MX to EX (note the tumbleweed chipper around the midpoint)
  3. Looking back from EX to MX

Many Thanks to Chris & Tyler for tacking this #tumblegeddon on site!!
