Tower repairs on Carrigain

[B the Hiker]

If I read it correctly, the Forest Service conducted repairs to the tower over August 1-2, 2022. It's a gem, that tower. I've heard it said one can see something like twenty-eight other 4,000-footers from it. I tell everyone I know to make it their final summit on the 48, just for the joy of seeing so many others.

It's something in the vicinity of 40 I believe

Dang, now I have to go up and look for the other 15!

43 summits can be seen.

I hope they fixed that loose piece of grating at the top of the stairs. It might have been safe but the drop in it when someone stepped on it was disconcerting. I wonder if they got around to installing the radio repeater that has been slated for years?. Of course that would also involve the clearing a space to land a helicopter on Signal Ridge.

Here's what Hey, what's that? has to 'say' about the views.

My final 48th peak was a Flags on the 48 event one year. Couldn't see squat from the tower. Wind was howling. Climbing the tower to mount the flag was an adventure as I'm a bit leary of heights. Climbing back down and stepping on that loose grate was a heart-stopping moment. Still need to go back up there to see the view.
