BRITISH COLUMBIA LOOKOUTS
CAMEL MOUNTAIN
Thompson - Nicola
September 27, 1967: "Bert Gammon is one of 165 men manning lookout towers each summer in one of British Columbia's five forest districts.
From his hut on Camel Mountain near the central B.C. town of Lilloet, Gammon can look as far as 40 miles to the north along the bed of the Fraser River, six miles to the east, 20 miles south and 15 miles west.
Fires can be spotted with accuracy--to within 200 yards of the flames.
Visitors, animal and human, to the area are easy subjects for Gammon to follow with his high-powered binoculars." (Terrace Herald)
