| I, for some reason, have done this one twice. The best part of this highpoint is the view of the trees, both on top of the tower and on the short hike from the parking lot. This, of course, is truest in the fall when I did it. HOWEVER, a "loving" couple decided to use the tower as their personal love nest the second time I went there, and because they were so, ahem, involved in what they were doing, they did not hear me climb the steps to the top. There is nothing that will ruin a highpoint more than an unexpected view of ugly, white, flabby man-ass. Must have been Packer fans. | |

| The .8 mile long last road was closed, and had to snow shoe about 1 mile, (pretty flat mile, not strenous at all). Did this without a flashlight, but a full moon. | |

| Highpoint #20. Flew into Chicago intending to do IL, but wasn't granted access. Drove most of the night, tried to catch some sleep in the back of the rental, but the mosquitoes kept me awake. Finally stopped trying to sleep and hiked in past the gate. Climbed the tower at sunrise. | |

| I climbed this and 3 other highpoints in a couple days. None of them significant, but they had to be done. | |

| A brisk walk uphill. We arrived at 7:30 when the park was to open and arrived at the summit 2 minutes later. The old metal tower is a far better view and a steel cable will provide saftey every 20 ft or so if you brought your harness. Well worth the drive. Stopped a little cafe (Moose Cafe) in town and had a wonderful home cooked breakfast. | |

| My 11th state highpoint. I got to satisfy my itch for climbing by ascending both the wooden tower (stairs) and the steel tower (ladder). The view from the steel tower is awesome - 360 degrees. We had the place all to ourselves. What a beautiful day to visit the highpoint in the state where I was born. | |
