commemorate the 75th anniversary of the CCCs by re-glazing the original
windows in a 1930s log guard cabin. Built as a Forest Service administrative
structure to patrol the Sawbill area and staff a fire lookout, the guard
cabin remains in use today to house seasonal wilderness crews. An
interpretive display will be available at the guard cabin during the
project. The public is welcome to visit.
