New digs for the 2014 fire season (cross post from GD)

Southern Arizona @ 9000 feet. Oldest continuously staffed lookout in US (since 1928). On the National Register of Historic Places. Located in designated wilderness area.

I'll be posting most of my photos in the Photography Group. From time to time I'll post alerts here if I put something really good in Photography.

I've been to Arizona and it's spectacular country, much different than here in the Northeast. Thanks so much for sharing these with us!

This one looks much smaller than the last one, but given the historical significance, it sounds like a great place to be.

Can't wait to see your next sets of pics!!!!

Awesome share pics, as always. Gotta forward some to a friend who spent a sabbatical as a Pikes Peak ranger.
