North Central Washington Fire Lookouts

There are a lot of structures in this zone. I suppose it is still more prone to fires and I know some of these are still manned.

There are 3 "twofers" in this area: Leecher, North Twentymile and Whitmore. Yet on some lists, North Twentymile does not count as two. The only explanation I have is that the two existing structures occupy effectively the same site. They are very close together. Leecher and Whitmore's structures are farther apart, yet occupy, in my mind, the same peak. For now, we are counting all three sites as having two structures. So that means we are now seeking 94 structures and not 93

Leecher Mtn. Crow's Nest (platform structure exists) X X Very close to the Leecher Mtn Lookout, this is little more than a tree fort than a lookout, but it is on the list of 93 as a separate line item than Leecher tower. GPS Track

Mebee Pass Lookout (structure exists) X X 48.631361, -120.779806 Thought to be the last L5 cabin left standing, this little Lookout is at the end of a little maintained trail from Rainy Pass or a much longer hike from the PCT side. Be sure to get a lot of information about the trail conditions before trying this one!

North Twentymile Lookout (structure exists) XX 48.75098, -120.068338 GPS Track There are two full structures within feet of each other, a tower and a cupula building. The only reason I can fathom this to count as only one is that unlike Leecher and Whitmore, you do not have to search for the second building...
