This is a very exciting announcement! After several decades of the Boucher Fire Lookout being boarded up and closed, it has been restored and will open Saturday morning, September 1st, 2012! YOU are invited to tour during times when it is staffed.
If you are able to make it to the Fire Department BBQ, be sure to visit the Fire Lookout and State Park Lookout Booths to find out how you can tour the Lookout.
Curt Waite, a long-time friend, invited me to take a peek a few days ago and here is a little album for you.
Many thanks to Curt and (where are my notes!??) others who have invested many volunteer hours restoring High Point Lookout and now Boucher. It was pretty exciting to be up in the tower admiring the view when all of a sudden we saw a puff of smoke out there in the San Marcos area. The equipment wasn’t installed yet to call in the fire so Curt ran down the three stories of stairs to report from his car. Lots of great action between touching up the paint and getting some vintage equipment up and running again. Stay tuned for more info and hope YOU get to enjoy the view up there real soon.
