Know more about who staffed this tower, or when? Let us know.
Curious when it might be open for rental. Spent the summers of 93’,94’, and 95’ on that tower when I worked for IDL. One of my favorite places to go visit.
I have not heard anything about it being placed on the rental program since the text we found it was being worked on. I will have to dig in and see what I can find.
If you don’t mind I am going to add you to our staffing history for this tower! If you happen to have any experiences or stories you would like to share we would certainly appreciate it.
