Actually the breeze was minimal at sunrise and sunset; great for photos but made the skeeters insufferable.

Flawless Trevor, simply gorgeous! Glad you got out for those nice sunsets!  |
Indeed - nice job! Makes me want to get back up there soon. It's amazing how many different moods one spot can demonstrate.

I think I've taken more photos in 2 days than I've taken on week long trips! 
 Worth getting up at 5:30 am for |
Where were you guys Miss. Karen?

I've gotta overnight there sometime, or at least get my pals to hang for a headlamp hike back home. Or start hiking with other photographers...

You sure he's not a super villain? It looks awfully like what I always imagined a secret lair would... (After the cloaking device was disabled and the landing pad was visible.)

Great shots. I can see hiking to it. But the tin can with a rotor on top would have me on edge the whole time.
...wait...are we just going to hang here or go hiking?

It's a pressure-treated wood and galvanized steel structure bolted to the top of the rock. You can see it from Andrews Field ( about 1.5 miles up the trail ). There's a repeater box on it for telecommunications.
Other than for electronic communications to assist with mundane things such as search-and-rescue missions, it serves no useful purpose.
I will submit, however, that it is a much more comfortable surface to sit on than the rock was, especially considering it was totally covered with broken glass. ( If you look down from the south face you can see quite a pile of broken glass just below it. )
The panorama of the south face of the Olympics from the top is incomparable. Access via foot or mountain bike via the DNR roads that thread up along the Clearwater- about 2 or 3 miles past Yahoo Lake.
