thanks

]]> Comment on Forest Lookout Tower at Sicily Island Hills by DeWayne Guice http://sicilyislandhills.com/2010/07/16/forest-lookout-tower-at-sicily-island-hills/#comment-370 Mon, 23 Aug 2010 01:13:20 +0000 http://sicilyislandhills.com/?p=1996#comment-370 It was John Feilding Guice who helped Mr. J. D. Weeks to erect and man the tower. For years we were able to climb the tower and talk to the man on duty and observe the view. The ladder to the tower went straight up and was not side to side as is most towers. I have my Grand pa’s retirment certificate when he retired fron the tower January 1st. 1957 after serving 5 years in the tower. More history can be obtained by contacting my father Loma D. Guice in Sicily Island. I believe the last tower attendent was Mr. White.

I have a background in old oil field sites and would volunteer to look into it if it was of interest to you.

I got to go hiking there on one of our monthly 2nd Saturday hikes and really enjoyed it! I also enjoyed your info on the birds in the Sicily Island area. I am a member of LOS and have mainly birded on Grand Isle and in Southwest Louisiana…. Peveto Sanctuary. Suggestion…lead a Louisiana Hiking Club hike in the Sicily Island area with a birding combo….Bev

While in SIH on Feb. 13, I saw a large woodpecker, and allowed myself to fantasize about an Ivory Billed. It was just a large Pileated, of course, but one can dream. The gravel operations at the top have left a couple of nice ponds, and once you get down in the bottoms there are remnant sloughs and scars from Big Creek. Beavers will make ponds also, and I flushed a good number of wood ducks in one. This is a really neat spot.

As a child, I roamed most of those hills and most folks would be very surprised and the streams and waterfalls that are hidden gems.
