[QUOTE="Sun, post: 57310, member: 143"] Nice!! Those lookout towers are so cool! I love riding to them. I went riding once and my riding buddy's bike wouldnt start. So I left him back at camp and went for a ride on this fire road that was gated. I was able to get around the gate. I also had a permit for the day and was given the code for the gate but it wasnt working. I went about 12 miles and ended up at this old, rusty lookout tower. I walked up about 3 stories on it till the butterflies were off the hook in my stomach. I was alone and it was surreal. Thought the tower was going to collapse. It doenst have walls or windows at the top, just a platform. Here are a couple of towers. This is up in the LPNF and what a shame vandals have ruined it:rolleyes: It would have been a cool place to stay [IMG]http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s162/DirtNSun/IMG_2178.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s162/DirtNSun/IMG_2186-1.jpg[/IMG] You can see it was a neat little nest.
