Hell Hole Structures

On the first Hell Hole run this year, some of us crossed the river several times times to see how far we could go. One of the times while on the south side, we noticed what looked like a solar panel or some silver colored structure. Looks like on Google Earth as 2 square structures above a waterfall. Anyone know what this or these are? If they are solar panels, what do they power?

Im not sure exactly where you are looking but the "Upper Hell Hole Reservoir Campground" has picnic tables, stoves, and pit toilets. My guess is you are seeing the roofs of the toilets. Check the location on the map in the link below.

Thanks Kris. I will look it up. These structures are up stream from the current reservoir which is well past the campground to the east.
