It is basically a time capsule that is still being seasonaly manned by USFS volunteer's.. It really is cool. I can't imagine how they got all that stuff up there.

Probably not helicopters in those days. I have some really good websites for lookouts if you're into that. I visit all I can around where I go. Shame so few are manned anymore.
