Comments
Comments: Excellent firetower peak!!! From the parking area, I went up the very grassy ATV road (in-between the logging road on the right and Dummer Pond Rd. A word of caution: people have camped in this spot and I UNFORTUNATELY stepped in a really horrible huge smelly pile of human fecal matter :(

Anyway, I followed the ATV roads generally uphill and ended up at the firetower. Excellent views!!!
