Description
This 20' pole with L-4 cab was built in 1935 and removed in 1976. On the site there is definite evidence of two different structures whether or not they were there at the same time is not known. The tie-downs nearest the south edge of the site appear to have been for a ground cabin. Farther back are concrete footings as from a tower. One can see the William O. Douglas Wilderness to the north and Goat Rocks Wilderness to the south and west.
