Black Mountain t.()okout reopens
Plumas County Supervisor Terry Swofford and Linda Johnson, a volunteer at the Williams House Museum in Portola, admire the refurbished interior of the lookout, including the Osborne fire finder
in the middle. Retired Forest Service employees Pete Meyer, Mike Martini and Curtis Marshall volunteered literally hundreds of hours t: carry out tasks at the lookout such as painting, replacin! the
door, demolishing the old outhouse and restoring the wooden floor that had been covered with linoleum. Larry Douglas of Portola re-roofed the structure. The Plumas County Resource Advisory
Committee funded a new toilet building. Unusual in that it has electricity, the lookout now houses two single beds, stove/Oven, refrigerator, heater, lights, table and chairs, and dry sink. With a
slice of the ribbon, Plumas National Forest declares its first recreational rental open at Black Mountain Lookout. Lassen County Supervisor L,'rry Wosick, Beckwourth District Ranger Deb Bumpus and
Plumas County Supervisor Terry Swofford do the honors Thursday, May 19. The lookout can be booked for overnight stays for $60 per night May through October at recreation.gov. Forest officials
report it is already 60 percent booked for the summer months. Federal law allows the forest to keep 95 percent of the rental revenue for maintenance and improvements. Photos by Delaine Fragnoli
The ribbon cutting ceremony
last week attracted luminaries
from both Plumas and Lassen
counties. The lookout is equally
accessible from Milford in
Lassen County or Beckwourth
in Plumas County. "1 think this
will bring a whole new set of
people onto the forest," said
Beckwourth District Ranger
Deb Bumpus. "From an
economic-standpoint it will
expand the use of the forest."

Take care
balloons
With graduation cere-
monies fast approaching,
many customers will cele-
brate with helium-filled
metallic balloons. Pacific Gas
and Electric Company
(PG&E) urges customers to
securely tie a weight to all
metallic balloong containing
helium to prevent them from
floating away. Metallic bal-
loons that contact overhead
power lines can disrupt elec-
tric service to an entire
neighborhood, cause signifi-
cant property damage and po-
tentially result in serious
personal injuries. Last year,
metallic balloons that drifted
into PG&E power lines
caused more than 250 out-
ages.
