Subject: Boucher Hill Transfer Complete!

Hey Lookout Fans…

The transfer of Boucher Hill Fire Lookout Station is finally complete! State Parks has taken possession and we will soon be able to go to work!!!

I have placed a copy of the transfer document on the group site if you are interested along with lots of other photos and info:  http://www.socalfirelookouts.org 

This is very exciting…but a little depressing as Palomar Mountain State Park is still slated to close on July 1, 2012…

State Parks are pretty good negotiators…the transfer price from Cal Fire was…$1.00…

We have way to many people to thank that have finally made this happen but we’ll get there.

The process began in 1985 with a visit to Boucher Hill from Consulting Archaeologist, Mark V. Thornton…26 years later…the lookout is on its way to rebirth!

Regards,

Brad
