Comments: | Limedyke Lookout is one of a dozen staffed lookouts on the Shasta-Trinity N.F., none of which appear to be on the N.H.L.R. Limedyke is the only one of the dozen staffed this year with a volunteer. The lookout's condition is fair. The exterior wood, window putty, and interior floor should be replaced. The interior needs to be re-painted. The summit of Limedyke Mountain is at 4694 feet. The tower's deck is 29 feet above the summit. |
