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.

--- Spotting Scope / Telescope for Fire Lookout Facility (Reno / Tahoe) Reply to: sale-rawxn-1244969936@No-Spam Date: 2009-06-29, 7:11AM PDT 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 --- June 28, 2009: TAC Web Page Updated http://observers.org/TAC.cgi/Announcements/ Star Party!
