In 1932, the lookout/fireman was Oval Capps. (must have been a camp)

In 1934 an L-4 cab was built. Panoramic photos were taken in September from 3 feet above ground. No evidence of a structure in the images but a road did go to the summit.

In 1951 the lookout was sold and moved to a private ranch 4 miles up the Twisp River.
