I never heard of a structure up there nor have I ever seen any debris from one. They may have just tented there. I've been up there at least 50 times since the 60's and camped many times on top. I'm sure I would have come across something.

I bet you're right Randy. Makes sense that both the USFS and a private timber company would certainly want a lookout looking out for inventory. Odd there wasn't as structure though; I can't imagine that the lookout wasn't heavily worked.

I can't add much to the lookout story, but found out that Persis Graves was the wife of Amos Gunn. They are buried together in Evergreen Cemetery in Everett. The tombstone is fairly large.

Great mystery! I really like the pictures of the gravel 'Stevens Pass Hwy'.

Below is the lookout on MT Pugh. I've read that in the heyday it seemed as if every other mountain had a seasonal fire lookout. Wood or fabric. There is a data base to put these suspected lookout sites. http://www.firelookout.org/ You should enter it. smile.gif

ONE of the lookouts on Pugh. In the end, there was an actual cabin up there.
