There's a story of an abandoned fire lookout tower, deep in the mountains of British Columbia, near the Montana border. It was boarded up for the winter, only to never be returned to the following season, as satellite technology took over the job. The tower supposedly remains close to the state it was left in. This is our adventure to find it. The world's loneliest cabin.

9:27 8, a little rough on the take off, 9:30 10, perfect form, 9:33 10, perfect landing. 9:45 15 the perfect cannonball. 14:09 I do believe that is the Flathead Border crossing. 24:43 You know that feeling when you step back in time: I know that fire lookout, my uncle Ted (my father's youngest brother (RIP) Worked as a Fire Lookout from the mid 60s to the mid 70s, before we packed up and moved both families to Vancouver Island in 77. If my memory is correct (and I'll check with Pop) Teddy worked at this tower in the Summer of 74/75.. THANK YOU! Shaun for taking this old man down memory lane.

From the time the fire tower came into view I was thinking in my head. “ I’d have to make that a yearly trip to clean up and preserve “. Then at the end you took the words out of my mouth ! That would an awesome thing to do. Maybe even take along some kids so that one day maybe they would go back. I would have loved to had the job of living there at that tower ! Those views are absolutely amazing ! Thank you for sharing this one, you truly are blessed to be able to do what you do. Here where I live it seems if you get off the edge of a dirt road on our government lands they’re ready to lock you up ! This was another amazing video trip 👍👍✌️

This past June/July I travelled the 49th Parallel in my Jeep Wrangler JK from buffalo Point MB to Waterton Lakes National Park AB. I came across a few of those shiny obelisks with CANADA on one side and UNITED STATES on the other. The line I followed was surveyed by the Boundary Commission from the winter of 1872 through to the fall of 1874. The section from the west coast to the Great Divide was surveyed about ten years previous and in some cases by the same men who surveyed the section across the prairies. They had crews to cut the swaths through the forests and build the original boundary markers. Fascinating history around the marking of the longest border based on an imaginary line.

Hi Shaun, thankfully here in far Northern California we still have a few fire lookouts that are functional and manned during summer months. It’s always fun to visit one especially when the lookout person is there to explain things. Story on, Jim.

Still an amazing working fire lookout in Lakes Basin, Plumas National forest. On top of the Sierra Buttes. You stand on the platform which overhangs the cliff. About a 600' sheer drop to the base of the cliff.

This video proves that the best adventures are shared with friends. Love watching your videos. They have been a very "zen" experience for me every week, make some dinner, grab a drink and sit outside while I enjoy some views and stories. As someone who is just getting in to 4x4 stuff its been fun to watch. Here in Ontario, things are pretty different, but im hoping to find some cool spots one day. If you guys ever find anything out this way worth making a video of, Id love to see it! I might even have a cottage for the crew to crash at! Look forward to the next adventure!

my favorite video so far...the journey , the scenery , the fun in the water and the lookout tower. With the wildfires being so prevalent around the world I would think about opening it and many more on both sides of the border...I just believe that the earlier it's spotted then the quicker response time to save lives and our lands

We were exploring thru out this area 3 times this summer. On both sides of the border along the Flathead River. Recognized it from our pics and your video. Heading back soon… to the Lost tower (real soon). Found it. Mapped. Ready to roll. We were so close and didn’t know it. Gratitude.

I worked a lookout on a state border one season and it also had a border with an indigenous reservation so I had 3 radios to use and monitor. It made things way more interesting. Having an international border would definitely make for a season to remember. At least only one language should suffice.

I'm in SK now but 100% know where you guys were at. Did some cutblock flagging a few years back down there recognized the cabins and sketchy bridge right away (Having Clint along was also a giveaway). Saw the fire tower on the map and always wanted to go see but didn't get the chance, now I know thanks! Bucket list trip of mine to go back and spend a good week or more back in the valley. If you go back to clean up the tower I'd definitely make the trip out!

It was an easy gravel road and an interesting hike to the abandoned Clinch Mountain firetower in SW Virginia. It was fun to get away for a few hours
