Photo, taken in 1999-2000 during a holiday, was supplied by Shannon and Joey Hodgson from the USA. They have been interested in Lookouts for many years and are just on the tail end of their 12th season (Oct. 2008) as fire lookouts in Oregon, USA. Shannon and Joey are also members of the FFLA.

The tree was pegged by George Reynolds and the major limbs were lopped by Dick Sproge.
The tower was condemned in 1978 but major structural work was undertaken in 1991, including the removal of 3m section and re-building of the cabin.
