OUR NOTES

The hike out to Lookout Mountain is about a 3 mile moderate adventure. We we joined by Sheila for this one. This trail is frequented by motorcycles and we met a few very nice guys on our hike out.

The site of the lookout is, of course, in a gorgeous spot (they didnt put them in ugly locations did they? haha)

We found lots of debris from the tower, hinges, window glass, wire, tie downs, cans and bottle fragments.

This appeared to be the remains of a rock structure, perhaps cold storage.
