The old lookout was raised to the floor, which is 12 feet by 12 feet. The 'copter took 10,000 pounds of material to Sauk and landed on the lookout floor. The weather prohibited finishing the project. There is still 6,000 pounds of material to take out at the first opportunity." (The Arlington Times)
