had to go to Puyallup ridge tower to fix a failed emergency repeater for mt rainier mud flow warning Thursday.
a good firm snow. I only sank up to 12 inches .

I was slow arriving and caught bruce coming back looking for me. I hope it wasn't because he didn't want the guy with the cat's keys missing.

it was steep and a rope on both ends of the sled was needed going down.

I was told that this could be the last lookout tower built in Washington. the doors were locked with most of the gear still inside. propane tank is still connected.
 
I would love to see that lookout sometime.

Oh yeah and the guy with the keys in hos pocket rarely walks.
