Description Texas Eastern - Miller's Gap Site
Latitude +40.303879999 40° 18' 13.97" N
Longitude -77.051710000 77° 3' 6.16" W
Identification No identification.
Notes This Texas Eastern tower apparently has several microwave paths. The building is not well maintained, and its identification sign is extremely faded. There is not any indication of a generator or fuel supply within the fenced area, however there is a manhole of sorts in the mowed area. I would speculate that there is an underground fuel supply, and a generator in the equipment building.

When Who Notes
Monday, May 19, 2003 Brady Alleman, Doug Warner This tower gave us quite a scare! We had walked two miles on a State Game Lands path to reach the tower. Upon reaching it, there was no obvious indication of where its utility power came from. Doug spotted the transformer, and I walked into the power line right-of-way. Almost immediately as I walked under the line, the wire and pole began violently shaking. A branch had fallen across the power line roughly 50 feet from my location. Luckily the hot conductor was insulated, but it nevertheless caused quite a scare.
