Looks like a small tower on the hill in the foreground. Or I'm inhaling....In the 2nd one (cam2.jpg) it almost looks like a Yagi on top of that mast/tower. Perhaps a bit like this -http://digitalcartography.com/n0eq/astro/Bivouac4Peaks-01.jpg Craig 'Lumpy' Lemke www.n0eq.com
I think the deal with the 2nd photo is you are seeing a shadow from a pole in the background. The photos were done at different times, hence different shadows. I also thought there was an antenna in the 2nd shot but changed my mind with the "shadow" theory. I noticed there is a large tower at 37°15'5.90"N 115°46'32.08"W. It is an area you can't see from Tikaboo. It might be what shows up in the photo. I need to check it out with Mapsource. However, it sure looks like there is a bit of infrastructure on the hill. Then again, you see stuff on google earth and when you get their physically, there really isn't anything there. Maybe the area is a bit devoid of growth because there is too much rock at the surface, i.e. situations like that. I called the photos "cam" because it reminded me of the tower they put up near the front gate a few years ago. But of course I have no idea what is on the tower, or even if it is a tower. Regarding the large tower, it does seem in the photo that the tower goes right down to the ridge seen in the front of the photo, so maybe that discounts the large tower being what is shown.
