which visited the old Guard Station location and then climbed to the fire lookout location. Only one is still standing and none were entered.

I signed up for 3 days of trail work which turned into 2 days of work and a hike. First, the trail work:

Horse Ridge Lookout

Six Rivers National Forest. Hiking to the last of four fire lookouts on South Fork Mountain. This one at the high point was pretty easy to hike.

The third in a short series of visits to all the lookouts on South Fork Mountain, one of North America's longest ridge lines. I just walked up the trail as near as I could. Half of it was still there. https://valhikes.blogspot.com/2023/06/pickett-peak-lookout.html
