Comments:  Greetings, my name is Jim Basting and I work for the South Cascade District (the old Linn District) of the Oregon Department of Forestry. I am in charge of Green Peter Lookout, it's maintenance and the hiring of the person who will man it. I thought I would send you some additional information. In 2001 we decided to start refurbishing the lookout, it had started to deteriorate after 34 years and with out some action it would be gone. With approval of the Linn Forest Protective Association we started with a new tin roof which changed the roofs shape but will last many years and require little maintenance. This past summer (2004) we hired a contractor and tore out all the dry rot and replaced pretty much everything from the floor up. All 2x4's that hold up the roof, all exterior siding, all the old windows, all the deck and guard rail were replaced. Cost for the refurbish in 2004 was $8125.00 and well worth the expense.
