		I believe his words were, when asked, that he personally placed no reliance on the lookouts, and viewed their function as to assist you.
		I've had some experience as a low visibilty watch (These are lookouts that are posted as far forward on the ship as possible during low visibility conditions such as fog) and I've been on or near the bridge of every ship I've ever been stationed on while underway.
		The lookouts constitute extra pairs of eyes, and extra insurance, but they are not foolproof.

	Willamette National Forest - Lookouts
		Lookouts have been an integral part of the history and development of the National Forests since the creation of the US Forest Service in 1905.
		The construction and use of fire lookouts is reflective of the development of the Willamette National Forest, as well as the Forest Service in general.
		By the mid-1930s, lookouts were in place in most of the prime vista location-with a few added later to offer additional protection during the construction of dams.

		It has long been the belief of some researchers that visibility on the night of the Titanic disaster was so hindered by the intense mid-Atlantic darkness that the Titanic's lookouts did not have a prayer of seeing the fatal iceberg until it was too late to avoid a collision.
		The Titanic's officers were apparently so utterly confident of their ability to see icebergs at great distances that they maintained the Titanic's high speed in the mistaken belief that they would have plenty of time to alter course and avoid any berg that might appear directly in the path of the ship.
		Researchers who have read the present author's book, "Titanic: Safety, Speed and Sacrifice" are already familiar with the evidence which suggests that the Titanic's lookouts may have sighted and reported three separate, distant icebergs that passed by the Titanic during the half-hour that preceded her encounter with the fatal iceberg at 11:40 p.m.

	PIT's Beginnings
		I learned that most of the lookouts were built in the 1930s and ’40s, many by the CCC; there weren’t many left; and many were slated to be removed, as they were no longer in use and were a safety concern.
		The community of Chewelah referred to it as “their” lookout, residents regularly hiked up the ski slopes in the spring and summer to picnic in its shadow, it was a much-loved view from the town in all seasons, and unlike most lookouts, it had visitors even in the winter.
		One of the main goals is to save the lookouts that are left, if not in structure, at least through the stories of the people who served in them (read one woman’s story of what it means to be a lookout).

		This lookout was a square wood frame building with a pyramidal roof and a second story cupola extending from the middle of the main floor roof.

		Already well into my 30s, I was playing music (to use the term very loosely) with a 14 year old bassist who had never played bass before and a 12 year old drummer who had never laid hands on a drum set.
