I knew you would come through today with a new great pic!!!

My state is covered in trees. Plenty of logging, historically and today. They put up hundreds of lookout buildings on top of various mountains, people would spend days in them with binoculars in the days before satellites. Kerouac worked a lookout on Desolation Peak, wrote a book (Dharma Bums?) there.

Some of them have been removed but many are still standing. Some are open to the public, you can hike to the summit and then spend a night indoors. Some are first come first served, others you can make reservations. I've never stayed in one but need to one of these days.

This one is on the top of Lookout Mountain, near Monogram Lake, just outside the park border.
