Fox Butte Fire Lookout - First Activation 1Jun14

Fox Butte is the site of a now defunct fire lookout tower that is listed in the National Historical Lookout registry. The road to the top is gated, leaving you with a hike of roughly 3/4 mile to the summit. That's if you're comfortable backing down an inclined double track about 1/4 mile - there is no, repeat no, turnaround. Otherwise park at the bottom crossroads.  Condx were tough this day, so my thanks to the folks that dug out my 5W signal on 20m, and thanks to those that entered the spot on the SOTA site - that really turned on the contacts and made the activation possible.
