Doesn't belong in the 2008 gallery,.....not sure where to put it, but I want to be sure the current FS folks get a chance to see it. It's from the mid to early 90's, when an Engine nearly slid down a scree slope in torrential rain and fog.
I could figure out the date if I found interior photos of the lookout. They had just brought up a new propane stove/oven in gusting, wet winds.........up metal stairs and slippery rocks.

I think they tried two different tow trucks from Downieville Motors to pull this back up onto the road, but to no avail. It took a bulldozer to pull this out.
To this day, no FS engine has made the journey beyond the Bee Tree.
