8/8 All is well with this cache. The road is open and the cache is in place. Enjoy the drive.
Drive withn 1/4 miles of the cache site, the direction in which to procede from there will be obvious.
Located at the end of the highest road in Washington, Slate Peak Lookout was first constructed as a gable roof cupola in 1924. In 1954 an L-4 ground cab was moved intact from Leecher Mountain, and two years later the Air Force removed 40' from the summit (including the lookout) for a radar station that was never built. The present lookout was put on a 41' tower, raising it to the exact elevation of the original peak. With stunning views of the North Cascades, it is maintained for emergency use. The lookout was not manned when we were there. All of you who have struggled with dicey sat readings in the woods (and who hasn't?) will love this one, satellite reception is outstanding.
