Gary snyder wrote this when he lived in this lookout . .

I the poet Gary Snyder

Stayed six weeks in fifty-three

On this ridge and on this rock

& saw what every Lookout sees,

Saw these mountains shift about

& end up on the ocean floor

Saw the wind and waters break

The branched deer, the Eagle’s eye,

& when pray tell, shall Lookouts die?

 

 

& this too

 

Mid-August at Sourdough Mountain Lookout

 

Down valley a smoke haze

Three days heat, after five days rain

Pitch glows on the fir-cones

Across rocks and meadows

Swarms of new flies.

 

I cannot remember things I once read

A few friends, but they are in cities.

Drinking cold snow-water from a tin cup

Looking down for miles

Through high still air.

 

Gary Snyder

Do me a favor & send me an email or post a comment on the site if it isn't working. I've noticed other people complaining in pbase's forums about the red x's. I haven't had any problems with it personally but it's impossible for me to check my whole site very often.

 

I just checked a lot of it now, everything seems to be up.

 

Best wishes,

I wonder what this couloir looks like from the air in the winter:

Gary, I believe that is known as Glee Peak, after Glee Davis. See these:

(I don't think that couloir shows in either of those, however. At this time I don't have a wider view of it.)

 

It's the prominent pk SW from Azure Lake, sitting between The Roost & McMillan Spires. John Roper can give you detailed information on it.

Here's a photo of the top of it, from the ground, in December a few years back when there was (nearly) no snow yet:

Looks like a wicked convex roll there (and actually if you look closely, you can see a fracture line in this photo)
