as it crosses Clinch Mountain. You can see the old road to the tower from a pulloff at the gap, however, when the road was
cut through the gap, the bottom portion of the road to the fire tower was destroyed. There is a house that sits near the old road
up to the tower/summit, but it looks abandoned. I have tried numerous times to find out any information about this tower, and
even who the landowner is so maybe I could visit the tower and take some photos, but haven't had any luck. This would be
a hike as the old road is inaccessable due to the highway cut, even for my street/trail bike. I have taken some pictures and also found some old 1940's pictures at the Tennessee State Library and Archives that I am posting. Thanks for looking.
