Only one side of Diablo was scary. The other sides were ground level (but the ground was rocky, if you fell). Washing windows on a lookout takes a LONG time. You can't tell which side of the window the streak is on. Some people on lookout towers have lost their dogs, whose exuberance overcomes their caution on the catwalk. They race around and can't stop at the corner. I also knew of a young woman who fell to her death. I was glad my lookout didn't have a tower. I get a little vertigo when I go up long staircases like that. Here's a little funny I wrote a year or so ago: Message 20457989 Liz on Lookout A tower stands in the forest lands Atop a mountain peak Lived all alone upon this throne A pair of eyes to seek Her name was Liz and it was her biz To scan the slopes for smoke Between her looks she read her books But then one day she broke "It's all around and up and down "All windows but no walls "I cannot bear to climb the stair "Each time Ma Nature calls." The lookout plan is for a man To stand and point a-lee And there ain't no way to this very day For a lookout gal to pee.
