North Carolina Lookout Towers with Peter Barr – Part 2
Welcome to Part 2 of the Exploring North Carolina Lookout Towers with Peter Barr. If you missed Part 1, I really encourage you to check out that episode where Peter and I discuss the history and backstory of Forest Service lookout towers and how a lifechanging trip on the AT and sketchy climb up his first lookout tower completely changed the trajectory of Peter’s life. We talk about a lot of other cool things too, but I won’t spoil that for you. You’ll definitely want to check out that episode.
In Part 2 we go in depth with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which led to the complete restoration of most of the US Forest Service towers in North Carolina and we talk about how the draw to the mountains led to a thru-hike of the AT and ultimately a career in and for the mountains. In this episode we pick right up where we left off talking about the specific towers that were preserved thanks to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
