Figure 17. A forest fire lookout station on the top of Lassen Peak, 

 elevation 10,400 feet, Lassen National Forest, California. This cabin 

 was first erected complete in a carpenter's shop in Reel Bluff, about 

 50 miles away. It was then taken to pieces and packed to the foot 

 of Lassen Peak. On the last two miles of its journey it was packed 

 piece by piece on forest officers' backs and finally reassembled on the 

 topmost pinnacle of the mountain. Photo by the author.
