OUR NOTES
When our good friend Mike Chaffee told us that Beaver Ridge is his DREAM tower we knew it had to be a good one. So when we pulled up we initially didnt get it.
This tower is an R-6 flat cab, not one of the prettiest tower designs to our thinking and the view from where we parked gave us no clue to what we were about to see.
The most spectacular view!
As we stood on the catwalk looking down over the lakes we thought, “Hey Mike, WE GET IT!”
And Billy pronounced it as the single best outhouse view we have seen thus far! High Praise!
