May 18, 1956: "The North Point Lookout on the ridge north of the Snider Ranger Station is being manned on an emergency basis.
It has been necessary to plow snow out of the access road for some distance. Because of the heavy snowfall last winter, old snow drifts still have the road blocked through the timber. Opening this road will enable the lookout to get to the station and will also permit the installation of the necessary radio sets and relays at this point." (Port Angeles Evening News)
