History
1930 – Crows nest atop Latour Baldy 1 mile south
1934 – 30′ Pole L-4 tower
1961 / 1962 – 30′ Treated timber R-6
1988 – Confirmed gone
In June of 1962 a cupola trailer was moved to the summit and used as the lookout while the R-6 was being built.
Our Notes:
There has been an ongoing tradition for decades for people to spray paint their names on the rocks surrounding the summit, which is interesting and a peek into history, but not necessarily relevant to lookouts.
We were able to find a few scraps and located what we believe are two outhouse pits, which contained some #9 wire and some cans, although no significant remnants.
