Yesterday... like today:

This picture was taken July 1915 in the Sitgreaves National Forest, Arizona.  The "Deer Spring Tower" was nothing more then an outdoor platform were a lookout was able to make fire detection by using a make-shift "Osborne" fire finder.  This simple version of the Osborne consited of a pair of sights affixed to a ruler, placed on top of a map. During the 2004 fire season, our lookouts will be retruning to South Mount Hawkins very much the same way in order to keep a "fire watch" on the San Gabriel Mountains.  Each lookout will be equiped with a map, radio, weather kit, and a pair of binoculars. Keep watch on this page when our "duty" begins. (Photograph Courtesy of the NAU Cline Library (NAU. PH.153)) Do not use this photograph without permission from the NAU Cline Library.
