Does anyone have a spare spotting scope for fire lookout?

Now this is just plain sad - a fire lookout on Martis Peak (Tahoe
National Forest) is asking if anyone has a spare spotting scope (or
telescope) because there's no budget for it.

I am the full time fire lookout at Martis Peak on the Tahoe National 
Forest. We are desperately seeking a donated spotting scope or a 
telescope - Decent power rating during daylight operations, that we can 
utilize at the facility for fire detection. Unfortunately for us, there 
is no budget money for this and we are forced to seek a donation. Martis 
Peak is the last active fire lookout in the Lake Tahoe Basin and 
overlooks 80 % of Lake Tahoe, all of the Donner Pass area, as well as 
Truckee, Sierra Valley, and parts of Nevada from Verdi , North to the 
upper 395 Bordertown area.. Our previous scope we had was not very 
good-15x60, was damaged and we do not have the funding to replace it. If 
anybody has a spare scope they would be willing to donate to the 
facility, it would be more than appreciated, both by me, the volunteer 
staff, and the public we try to protect. All responses please call 
775-747-9517 (1st) or 775-223-1037. ask for Ric . All e-mails inquiries 
please reply to renobird2000@No-Spam . Thank you very much if you can 
help
