A prayer before climbing is probably appropriate. We discovered the tower in the summer of 2021 on our way to Ocean Isle. There had been a wreck around Big Walker Tunnel and 77 south was backed up horrible. We took a detour over the mountain and saw the tower but didn’t stop. A week later on our return trip there had been another wreck in the area and 77 North was backed up. We detoured over the mountain again but this time stopped. I was the only one in my group to climb. Sketchy is a good description. I didn’t notice the movement as much on the way up as I was concreting on the condition of the wooden steps. While enjoying the views a family with 3 kids came up. They had no fear and moving around I decided I had saw enough and it was time to come down.
Thanks for sharing Mike. It is nice to know someone else agrees with the sketchy vibe of the lookout tower. They were a few different couples descending when we were going up. There movement is why a was freaking out. Thanks for watching my friend!
Better you than me Yeti, as I was feeling your anxiety climbing up that bad boy. Once at the top, I too took a deep breath, not only because you made it to the top, but for the beautiful views. Thank you, and all around thanks to the tower not folding up like a deck of cards.
Folding up like a deck cards!😂🤣 That is a great way describe my thoughts as I made my way to the top. Thanks for watching Bobby! Have a good week my friend.
That is one beautiful view from the top! However, it definitely takes some guts to make it to the top. We were watching this video on our tv and couldn’t stop laughing. That tower was way too rickety to climb up that far. I can see why you had enough of it. David likes your cap! Enjoyed the video and the views. Thanks for sharing!
Trust me! I had know idea what we was getting into climbing up to the top. The tower looked fun from the bottom looking up. Then we made up a few stories. That is when I knew how sketchy this climb was going to be. YIKES! I bought that hat on Etsy shop. Love it! Thanks for watching my friends.
Have you ever climbed a lookout tower? If so what was your experience like?
Yes in the 1980s near Asheville nc, it was cool 😎
You should definitely pray!
NOPE, NOPE, NOPE! Russ i was terrified just watching that...
Me too! I was so happy to make back down.lol
@@HitchHikingYeti yeah I can't do heights...that was unnerving watching
Thank you for being so brave!! It was beautiful! Your wife is very brave, too. I continue to pray for your safety!!🙏🏻🙌
I don’t know if I would call us brave. Maybe crazy!😂 Thank you so much for watching Carolyn. Have a good week my friend.🙌
