Nice!

When I win the lottery I’m gonna take visit all these places that people write ride blogs about!

Great trip !!

I think it was Bunyan Velo that did a feature on these look out towers and they have real appeal .. a friend in Topanga just posted a similar trip.

Stumpy, thats what I’ve always said!

Paul, yup. That was my article in Bunyan Velo last year. Do you have that link to your friend’s report. I’d love to read it.

Great stuff- really enjoyed reading it (and the pics).

I take it you hav to book into thse towers in advance.
just shows the true scale of america

Most of them you do have to book in advance. But there are a few that are first-come first-serve.

How do you book them? That just looks awesome!

Do you have an email I can contact you on ?

That looks like a really nice lookout.

I’ve never met Lucas, but we have chatted on the phone a bunch.
