Not sure if any one has been by Apple Pie Hill fire tower lately but its now manned on a regular basis. The past 2 weeks to be exact (as long as the weather stays dry). And no damage reported so far. So I guess the gate has helped.
Just finally took a moment. I love it. Sort of surreal.
Almost otherworldly but right here in our backyard.
Great vantage point and sage words regarding the trash.
