Usually don't bring a camera with, but decided to yesterday since we were going to an old lookout tower for firewatch. These towers were all around the county on high hills to look for fires during lightning storms. I couldn't imagine being in one in the middle of the night 50 mph winds, pouring rain, and steady lightning. The wind in the tower yesterday wasn't bad, when we visited it in the winter it was a steady wind, never let up. Some of the pics are from a tower, others are from overlooks on the side of the road. The river is the Pigeon river. Everything to the right of it is canada, left is Minnesota. River makes for a good trail in the winter. Also is a picture of the cabin at the base of the tower, its starting to cave in on its self, there are two notebooks inside people fill out when they visit it, one said they slept over night in it and even used the old wood burning stove to heat up some food on.
