I'm a little confused about the location here cause I thought Mt umunhum was the mountain from the San Jose side that had the missile radar base tower visible.

Internetjack posted:There was a very tall, 100'+ transmission tower about a quarter of a mile from our house. It had the blinky beacon light on top so airplanes would see it at night. We always assumed it was a radio repeater type function. Drunken friends and neighbors always wanted to climb it; scramble over the barbed wire and climb the ladder. I always thought it was super stupid because we had no idea how much power and what frequencies it transmitted and that it could possibly have enough power to be like a huge microwave. But climb it they did. I opted out every time because I was a huge wimp. Hell yeah OK I just wanted to make sure I'm not crazy, because I've been there. I used to live in San Jose and when the military decided to clean up and raze down the base the city decided to turn it into a park, and during that process I did security for the USACOE cleanup process, but this was about 8 years ago. Not surprised at all to hear about the prepper types, one thing that y'all not mentioning with this whole leaving cars at night is that the entire area is a mountain lion preserve so there's that added spice bonus. All the roads leading up to the top are all locked with daisychained locks so it takes some effort and danger to sneak around out there on foot period.
