I think it was Arizona, might have been New Mexico. Neat none the less!<br />I'd never heard of the towers.<br /><br />Flying airmail at night in those days had to be exciting, even with lighted beacons every 10 miles, there are real mountains out west!<br /><br />Good story, thanks for passing it on!Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658228421842698820.post-24853007215992707212017-08-24T23:36:15.266-05:002017-08-24T23:36:15.266-05:00Not many people.

There are still a few in use in the mountains of Montana.

We hadn't but I was curious so I read some articles about them.<br /><br /> Fast forward to the eclipse. I checked to see if anything was happening in Dubois which was only about 4 miles away from where we were boondocking and found a story about the people who were restoring the beacon. Kind of exciting because I knew what the beacons were! It was cool to go see one in person - an almost forgotten piece of history.Karen and Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07996775051713720768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658228421842698820.post-29630366091604376132017-08-24T23:20:01.585-05:002017-08-24T23:20:01.585-05:00Now HOW did you find this one????
