Last tower segment going up now! Just the "Lighthouse" left to go now.

Yes, I'm calling it a lighthouse as apposed to the "UFO."

Actualy there are at least two more pieces before your lighthouse. There is the counter weights and the walkway at the top with the wheels and pulleys for the cables.

Looking good!


The path you tread is narrow, and the drop is sheer and very high.

Very imposing looking. Gonna hafta do a gut check before I ride this one! Wonder how much effect the winds off the lake will have on the motion of your seat.

Looks like the "toping off " of the tower will be happening fairly soon, as the "ufo" top is rigged up to the crane.

Anyone else notice how high the lake level is this year? The platform doesn't seem too far away from the water, unless it's just the angle of the camera that makes it look that way.

There is just a very strong wind coming off the lakeside, making the water creep up higher than usual today. It happens occasionally, they even have to pull the beach chairs in sometimes when this happens so they don't get washed away.

Does the arrival of a large crane at KI indicate the inaugural flight of KI's windseeker mechanism today?

It definitely looks like they intend to lift something. Perhaps they're going to attach the lift cables.
