OUR NOTES

At first Siwash Peak Lookout seemed to be wiped clean from this site. But after some careful inspection we found a few interesting artifacts.

We found the tie downs

We also found the flag pole:

We found a single section of cement that was probably from one of the corners and two cement blocks that has been pushed over the side of the mountain that were once part of the cabin foundation.
