Old Lookout Site?

Old Lookout Site?

Something used to be here, along the ridge, just north of the summit of Bench Mark Mountain (5816 feet), July 6, 2010.

Looks small

Looks like a dried up tarn that happens to be in the shape of a square. Or...some over zealous fire crew making a heli-pad during a recent fire. Looks fresh, within a few years since nothing is growing in there. Fire lookout would have killed the meadow around the footprint as well with all the stomping around.

Re: Looks small

Good point,m although I'm sure it's not a tarn because the ridge top trail intersected it and there was a cairn right next to it. Someone else suggested it was a heli-pad and it has the right dimensions for that so that answer makes the most sense.
