I was able...I visited this monument, in late 2013..<br />I was able to get there thanks to an understanding taxi driver....would not recommend walking in the town around that area, but we did ask a couple of pedestrians for directions as the Google map location was wrong and managed to find the site. Thanks to the surrounding trees and buildings it is not visible from a distance as one might expect.<br /><br />The mast is in excellent condition and a guard is posted 24/7 to prevent vandalism/thievery. As the poster said photos are no problem. The mast is now painted Aviation Orange and White.<br /><br />I was honored to have been able to visit: glass raised to the Brazilians for preserving this piece of Zeppelin history and of course Count Von Zeppelin, Hugo Eckener and the dedicated German engineers and airshipmen!<br /><br />Donald Macomber<br />Lompoc, CA USADon Macombernoreply@blogger.com
