This is what they look like down South, ya'll.
There used to be a lookout similar to this perched on a 3000' precipice at Winter Ridge, in the Fremont National Forest about 50 or 60 miles east of Crater Lake. Ironically, the tower and the wonderful little cabin were both incinerated in a massive wildfire in 2005.
