Afternoon everybody, nice seeing you again. As you might know, the mods have asked me to do a bi-weekly travel post and this is the second one. Last time on Travel Tuesday, I highlighted Champoeg State Park, and since that is only a 30 minute drive from downtown I decided to go a little further afield this time and clue you in to one of my favorite long weekend trips: The Pickett Butte Lookout Tower.
Pickett Butte is about a 4 1/2 hour drive, so I strongly suggest you do this on a three-day weekend. Staying two nights at the lookout is much better than just one. If you stay just one night, you have to worry about packing up the next morning, and that's just not what lookouts are all about. Besides, you'll want to break this trip up into two sections so you can stay a night in either Roseburg or Canyonville.
Roseburg is, well, it is what it is. Most people know it as the place to get gas after you stop at Wildlife Safari. Perhaps you stopped in Roseburg while trying to get your McMenamin's passport stamped, or maybe you accidentally stole a bunch of panties from the Douglas County deputy sheriff's daughter when she left her Honda Element unlocked in the parking lot of the Garden Valley Mall so now you don't even leave the freeway anymore when you're in the area.
Regardless, I always make it a point to stop at Draper Brewing when I'm in town. The first time I went there, I told the bartendress (while she was switching LPs from The Kinks on the turntable behind the bar, no less!) that I specifically came to Roseburg to try their beer. She made a quick phone call, and Sam (the owner and brewer) drove down from his house with some special release bottles in hand. I was impressed. Their pub is right in the downtown area, so if you go on a weekend night, you get to see all the teenagers "cruising," which in Roseburg means lots of raised Dodge Rams with fake testicles hanging from the rear bumper. Not sure why that is a thing, but after a few cream stouts it is hilarious.
After hitting up the brewhouse, you have to make a choice: You can stay at the Rose City Motel, which is my favorite place to stay in Roseburg because every room looks like it was designed by the founding members of AARP--and Kathy will give you 10% off your room if you're nice enough and don't make any dumb jokes about the decor. OR, you can head south on the freeway another half hour to the Seven Feathers Casino, where the founding members of AARP are actually hanging out. I mean, KC and the Sunshine Band played there last weekend, so you have a rough idea of their demographic. You can shit on me all you want for saying this, but there is something to be said about reliving the 1990s by smoking cigarettes--indoors!--at a cheesy sports bar, eating mozzarella sticks, and drinking Widmer Hef. I have driven farther for less, that's for sure.
In the morning, you can take a long swim in the hotel pool, which is actually kinda nice because it's huge and warm and if you go early you'll avoid the families that thought it was a good idea to bring their children to a casino. Before leaving town, you can stop at Promise Natural Foods (the only hippie food store between Eugene and Medford?) for supplies. But let's be honest, hopefully you filled up your cooler with at least some horrible crap like hot dogs and nacho cheese back in Roseburg. There is no water at Pickett Butte, so plan on bringing at least a couple gallons with you for drinking and washing up.
After that long throat-clearing preamble, you're ready to drive up to the lookout. Spoiler alert, but here's a short video of the place. You'll notice that it is outfitted with propane lights. It also has propane heat, stove, and even a fridge--which is extremely posh as far as USFS rentals go. I can never get the fridge to work here, but the heat is a huge plus since I usually go mid-April or in the beginning of October. It's at 3200 feet, so it can get a little cold. That picture shows there is a picnic table, fire pit, and room for some tents at the base of the fire tower in case you have brought multiple friends up for an epic camping trip. If you came alone, Edward Abbey, then you'll have to haul your gear up the stairs. If you brought someone with you there is a handy crate and pulley system that is probably just more fun than efficient. Climb up the very steep 40 steps and you'll find a 14'x14' room that includes a twin-sized cot, map table, and a glass-legged stool that you stand on in case of lightning storms. There's also, of course, a catwalk that surrounds the entire lookout. The outhouse is about 30 yards from the base of the stairs, so bring a bucket if you plan on drinking a lot of beer. Or if your girlfriend is pregnant. Or if you just really like buckets.
Once you have all your stuff inside and you've figured out how to make the place warm without breathing in too much propane, you'll notice that there is absolutely nothing to do. You'll look out onto the waves of forested hills and hear the silence and smell the mist coming up from the Umpqua. You might be tempted to pull your phone out and check your messages or your email, but don't. If you do, you'll miss out on one of the most important parts of this adventure: Smart phones killed a lot of things, but one thing you may not think about too much is how smart phones killed the art of the fire lookout journal.
I swear, if I were still lost somewhere in my twenties, I would take a summer off and visit as many lookouts or USFS cabins as possible and make a book out of the pages you find in journals (and if you steal my idea, you owe me 15% of the gross, not the net).
Nothing you read on the internet can ever be more helpful than some of the stuff you find in the journals at these places. Sometimes things get weird , sometimes things get funny, and sometimes you just wanna give someone a high-five (By the way, Gabe, I cleaned off your girlfriend's boogers).
Don't get me wrong. There are a ton of things to do around there besides reading journals. If it's a hot day, the lizards come out and sun themselves on the rocks. Multiple wildflowers come out in the springtime, and the daisies are still sprouting at the end of September. There are more birds out there than you can name. Meteor showers. Coyotes. Huckleberry pancakes. Wind storms. Oral sex. Pretty much anything. Just please write it all down in the provided journal. It's a dying art form.
You can reserve nights at Pickett Butte Lookout, or almost any other USFS facility here.
BONUS: If you found the journal pages amusing, I've created a small album of more here.
