    Glastenbury Mtn VT fire tower and Wilderness

    Doesn't the firetower interfere with "man-made structures" policy in a wilderness? Like the train bridge ruins in the Pemi (which are still there)? I thought there was some conflict about the bridge ruins because it's man made, yet a historical artifact. I wouldn't call the firetower...
