Fire Tower cards

[askus3]

My brother came upon this collection of fire tower cards from the mid 1960s. Thought I'd share. Does anyone else have these? i scanned the reverse of one card which is the same for all with Nelson Rockefeller's signature. In case you can't read the one in pencil from 8-17-66 was from Mt. Beacon. Does Snowy Mt. fire tower still exist?

Still there on July 30, 2002 when I was up there.

If you're interested in Fire Towers, you should check out the Fire Tower Challenge. Cool little list that takes you to some far-off corners of the Adirondacks and Catskills.

We actually give out replicas of those cards at BLM now!
