Lookout Exploration: Racing Jack Frost

As lookout exploration season winds down, we refuse to let a little weather end the fun. Sure, Jack Frost is starting to show up, but we're stubborn enough to keep exploring until nature forces us to call it quits.

Fishhook Peak Lookout

We were able to find the cement footings and one support beam from what we believe to be the 1931 L-4 tower as well as lots of debris from what we believe was the log cabin.

Bussel Peak Lookout

Bussel Peak is recorded to have been built in 1938 so finding "1939" written in the cement of the footings was pretty exciting.

Huckleberry Mountain Lookout

There are still ruins left at the site, including some timbers from the R-6 and the cement footings from both the L-4 and the R-6 towers.
