Double Arrow Lookout

L-4 style forest service fire lookout (14x14) on a 20 foot tower. Rough, rocky ground in the foreground, with shorter evergreen trees in the near distance. The sky has moody storm clouds that brought more than an inch of rain in the last 24 hours.

Double Arrow Lookout on the Lolo National Forest near Seeley Lake, MT. This is my first of four for lookouts I have rented for the summer. You can drive right up to this one vs having to hike in, although the road is pretty dodgy. I'm still sick, so climbing up 34 stairs felt like A LOT. Turns out I have bronchitis that's maybe getting better now, maybe not? Anyhow, it was a pretty cool deal being up on a mountain top.

Oh hahahaha ! . . . one summer in my early twenties some friends and I went on a "lookout road trip" and at the time I was desperately in love with someone who barely knew I existed so in heartsick despondence I buried a certain R.E.M. lyric on a scrap of waterproof paper under fire lookouts all over the North American west as one of those things you do when you're that age I guess. This was one of the 1st ones we visited - because of Norman Maclean, natch - so somewhere in the ground in the photo there must be the mouldering remains of said lyric (if it even still exists). Oh Youth ahahahaha!

@MackReed aw thanks but the humor at the Pretentiousness of Youth is the core memory here - as well as getting to see some cool lookouts! It's neat other people get to see them too like in this here post!

@williwaw amazing, I love it! Funny thing: I listened to some old REM (Reckoning) on the way home, but alas, not while at the lookout.

@williwaw @zork thank you both for sharing your stories. It's neat that you both will have visited the same place.

@zork ohhhh that's wild because that's my second favorite R.E.M.album and the lyrics I buried were from "Don't Go Back to Rockville"!

Life is so amazing!

you could have hidden something useful, like a strip of paper explaining what a "moral kiosk" is
