Sunday (19 January) Tower Tours

Tenative Plan:

The trips to lookouts Sunday will take us to too Hickory Flats,Triangle and Tator Knob with a quick stop over at the Island Fork Firefighter Memorial site for firefighters who died in the line of duty in 1999. The pair was killed fighting a forest fire along the edge of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The local Kentucky Division of Forestry has identified 11 other state tower sites. Ranger Tech. Dwayne Anderson will be visiting those sites in the coming weeks to check on acess and condition. Some towers are gone, others may be in repairable condition. The towers are mostly in private hands however the state still owns a few of the sites. Names like Sugarloaf, Frazer Flats, West Liberty, Rock Run, Round Top, and Huckleberry. A few of the lookouts could be visited Monday. The lookouts
are all in a hour or less drive from Morehead.
