Quoted By:
what I do not understand is where there are so any rickety old fire towers in gorgeous scenic locations that usually have trail access to the tower, but the towers are left in disrepair, sometimes closed and fenced off, sometimes now, but usually difficult if not impossible to climb
fire towers are not that expensive to build
why the forest service does not invest at all in new towers that could be built in a matter of a week or two at scenic locations for visitors to enjoy views is beyond me
or they just dismantle them and there's only foundation
it would be SO EASY to add new towers!!!
