Another group picture (again minus Tracy - plus our amazing tour guide, Tim Barnes, on the far left), in front of Bear Peak (8400 feet).
Hopefully someone has better footage than I of the interior of the facility. Anyhow, it was a fascinating tour and a fascinating facility. I'm sure that most of us will be back.
