Wow, that's worse than my mom. She hit the AAA building, but didn't drive into it. But they did total her car for it.
RIP 2009 Camry.

Do. Not. Want.Hellbender:
It obstructs the view?
That is insane. does the Forest service get to sue Wilderness Watch when the area goes up in flames?
Welcome to Costco. I love you.
It's not like the FS still staffs the lookouts. They are just a tourist attraction.
I'm pretty sure that when it comes to the US government ignoring US law and doing what it wants to, despite it being "cool"...and the citizens win the legal battle, that is good day.
like ski lifts.
They're nothing but an eyesore these days IMO.
Agreed.
There aren't any ski lifts in Wilderness Areas...
i don't really care...they are still eye sores.
Its been a LONG time since the Forest Service/BLM/NPS/etc... used lookouts to monitor fire activity.
once in awhile they sell the fire towers....you pay for the removal.
True. Then again... pretty much all of it is an eyesore. You know... 'ceptin' for the nature stuff.

Wrong. I have visited several fire lookouts while riding in National Forests here in New Mexico, all were manned.
Were they keeping an eye out for fires or illegals?
I was planning to go to one and squat there like it's mine. Always been a dream of mine....
Chances are they still exist because they meet the criteria of "historic places". I'd be surprised if even 25% of lookouts still exist when compared to the numbers they existed in in the 40's or 50's.

I love when eco morons do that. I understand it was built illegaly but punish the people who do it. I doubt demolishing the building will be good for the local ecosystem.
It's like some eco moron decided that a local dirt jump spot was placed in rare bird nesting place so they bulldozed it
Because **** you, that's why
Canada's conservatives found a way to deal with problems like that:
The government has also threatened to revoke the charitable status of environmental groups that are challenging the projects. And Public Safety Canada, the equivalent of the United States Department of Homeland Security, has classified environmentalists as a potential source of domestic terrorism, adding them to a list that includes white supremacists.
