Fire lookout: Larose Forest

There aren't many of these left anymore. This one is by Larose Forest Headquarters in the forest. There used to be at least one or two more, but they were long ago taken down. I hope this one remains. Makes me think of Jack Kerouac's novel "Dharma Bums", in which the main character held a seasonal job looking for forest fires from high atop one of these.

I'd be quite content to spend my days sitting up there watching the goings on in the forest below. Imagine getting paid to sit up there and watch for fires!

Fantastic image of this tower! I don't know if I could climb all the way up there!

What a long way up!! The little red "house" makes a very interesting sight, nice capture. V
