Monjeau Lookout
Saturday, September 24, 2005: In the mid-afternoon, I finally decided to make a trip
to the Lincoln National Forest, which is very near the place I stayed near Alto, New Mexico. This
is the Monjeau Fire Lookout, which sits on top of a mountain. The tower offers great views of
the surrounding mountains and valleys. While there, I talked for a while with a ranger who let me
into the upper "employees only" part of the tower and pointed out several of the landmarks in the
area--including the area near where I'm staying.
