Most lookouts are in somewhat remote locations, and are susceptible to vandalism and theft. Lookouts have been shot full of holes, broken into, personal and government property stolen, destroyed, or left for rats and weather to destroy. These acts greatly increase the cost and frustration of maintaining a viable lookout system. This volume is not in narrative form but is a collection of official reports as well as newsletter and newspaper accounts of these depredations as originally reported. The research was done by Ron Kemnow for his website Ronkemnow.weebly.com. Many historic photographs are included. Some of the older photographs and picture postcards are of poor quality, but were included for their historical value.
