Team Goju:We have been geocaching for a 3 years, and have only visited/posted a couple of waymarks, so the activity is still relatively new to us. One of our side interests that has developed has been visiting remote and abandoned fire lookout towers. While browsing through the categories, the closest one I could find is Lookout Towers, however it states that one of the logging requirements is to climb to the top. Some abandoned fire lookout towers may have the cupola on the top removed and/or have government signage prohibiting climbing the tower. I was hoping to post a couple of these towers as waymarks, but would not want to require a visitor to climb to the top, as that is something they should do at their own risk. After reading the description for the existing category, Lookout Towers, it seems these would not fit the category, and perhaps a separate category would be appropriate. Abandoned fire towers differ substantially from publicly accessible lookout towers in that they are often remote, and require considerable planning and effort to get to. Any thoughts?
Firetowers would be an awesome category! You could have a variable for Active/Inactive. I agree that they should be separate from Look-Out Towers as they serve totally different purposes.
