Lunch Peak Lookout

This old fire lookout will be my vacation home for four days in July. I reserved it through the Forest Service, it sits on top of Lunch Peak in the Bitteroot Mountains near Sandpoint overlooking Lake Pend O'rielle. It is at 7,000 feet elevation which is high for this area. Most fire lookouts have been deactivated due to satellite technology and they have made these available to the public on a first come basis. I reserved it on the first day they were available and it should be fun. The road goes right to the lookout but has a gate miles down the road that is locked so it should be pretty private. It is near some trails that go to some high country lakes that should be fishing well about that time of the summer. I'll be hanging out like Ed Abbey hisself. Ty said he would try and come up then and Lisa might even spend a night or two. One thing for sure, its gonna have a great view.
