Lonesome Boys Of
Forest Take Mt.
Perches

Lonesome boys of the Flathead
national forest will be George
Hossack, 21, and Keith c. Boe-
deker, 10.
About July 1, they'll take their
mountain top lookout stations,
most isolated in the forest. Hos
sack, Montana state university
botany senior, will be perched on
Bungalow mountain. four miles
from the continental divide at the
head of the Spotted Bear river.
This is his third summer with the
forest service, and he'll have a
world full of nature for his hob
by, plant collecting.
Boedeker, who like Hossack is
a World War II veteran, will be
on top of 8,255-foot Jumbo noun
tain at the head of South Fork.
He'll be 1O5 miles from civiliza-
ton, and SIS miles from the end
of the Spotted Bear road. It's
primitive untouched mountain
and forest, where the only fires
are those caused by lightning.
Few men have ever seen this
size of the state of Rhode Island
primitive patch.
Mail and fresh supplies will be
dropped about once week to
the two lookouts by small para
chutes from airplanes. Their IL
by 14-foot windowed homes on
the mountain tops are also con-
nected with civilization by field
telephone and short wave radio.
Their friends of the summer are
apt to be elk and mountain goat. |
In all the 21a million acre Flat
lead national forest has SIS sum-
ner lookouts.
