An abandoned hydro power station that was meant to supply electricity to Lethem. A landslide destroyed much of the pipeline carrying water from the mountains.
Electrical panels destroyed by a fire
The generating turbines. All the valuable copper wires have been vandalized
The pipeline that once carried water to the hydro power station. The approximately 900 steps (mostly damaged by the landslide) beside the pipeline lead to Black Rock with a great view of the village and the savannas.

The wooden ladder was mostly broken at this time.
