WATCH TOWER AT POINT REYES LBS
A viewer who was stationed at Point Reyes writes "I remember all of those lonely hours on lookout watch, with the
high winds and freezing cold rain and sometimes being frightened out of my mind, especially when the wind would howl through
the legs of the tower, letting my imagination run wild."
