Did Vie Mtn in the southern Sawtooths recently, and found what appears to be old lookout debris on the summit.

Anyone know the history of this? Vie is a rarely scrambled peak, and the trail that used to wrap around the south slopes of Ferry and north thru the Ferry/Vie saddle is mostly gone, as is the lookout trail. Seems it's been a long time since there was a working lookout up there. Vie Mtn Trip Report

Thanks guys. Seemed like a rather remote and obscure place for a lookout.
