Attached are two photos of Twin Peaks from the air in 2021. I have also included photos from 2014, though there has been cleanup done at the site since then, to include the removal of the 15’ Sinclair shelter.

The site is on a very remote Alaskan peak, with a mix of granite boulders and peat soil with low scrub brush. There is no overland access to the site, it is helicopter only.

I do not have a drawing for the existing 4’x6’ Vertex shelter. However, the foundation is 4 poured concrete footings (sonotubes) which were placed and poured by the Forest Blaster greater than 15 years ago.
