Thank you for the great video. My grandpa Bill Hoyt worked up in the tower over the years. When I was child I tried to climb up but never could make it to the top. My sister did. Your video brought back memories.
That is fantastic to see and love that it is still open to the public!! The history of these fire towers is amazing, and unfortunately, many are simply being dismantled here in Nova Scotia where there is a such a rich history of their use. Takes me back a long time since I first climbed one in my youth and thought what a cool job that would be. A great share!! Bruce and Otis
Glad you enjoyed it. It's sad to see them disappear. Nova Scotia has always intrigued me for some reason. You have some amazing videos of that area! I've been binge watching curse of oak island too so that adds to the allure.
Great to see it reminded me of the game Firewatch that I recently played. Very interesting to see and learn about the history. Nice to find that marker too. You did a very good job putting this together. Take care!
Thanks! It was fun making this one and doing the research. Shame how there disappearing. Never heard of that game I'll have to look into it, sounds cool. Thanks for watching✌
Hi Kathy, I've seen some of the crazy mountains you've climbed.. I think you would be just fine. No wind when I went up so that helped. My wife wanted no part of it though!😬🤣
I climbed the fire tower in 1952, you got into the enclosure at the top through a trap door on the floor using a ladder, not steps. My name is on one of the brass plaque on the steps going up. Brian Finstad is probably a grandson or grandnephew to my friend Pat Patterson Finstad who made the climb with me, after we rode our bikes from Solon Springs, ten miles north.
