August 10, 1932: "Sitting on top of the world is a literal fact for the man stationed at the Remmel Mountain lookout station. It is the highest lookout in the Chelan National Forest. Its altitude being 8,690 feet. Remmel Mountain is located in the extreme northern part of Okanogan County in an almost inaccessible region.
On a clear day a view of thousands of square miles of country can be obtained from the peak, but when mountain storms start lashing the rocky pinnacle, and the air becomes saturated with lightning, the life of a lookout loses much of its romance." (The Wenatchee Daily World)
