My grandfather was a Captain at the camp. It was nicknamed "Camp Can -A- Nazi"- it is now the forestry research station. I have news articles and pictures from 1940 or so in a scrapbook.<br />I worked at all the lookouts in Mike The Unknown Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07993793393029033422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137487295108281014.post-62626956083728589302008-12-16T20:05:00.000-07:002008-12-16T20:05:00.000-07:00Thank you so much Michele.... it's my hubby that w...Thank you so much Michele.... it's my hubby that worked so hard on that panorama shot.. he's a real whiz with Photoshop and things like that.

Even the trail guides refer to the intriguing name, but never detail where it came from. The only info I found said the lookout received its name after it was already out of active service...<BR/><BR/>And to add to the confusion... I don't think there are hummingbirds up there either!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11008830395970778824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137487295108281014.post-81054935133785845792008-12-12T19:13:00.000-07:002008-12-12T19:13:00.000-07:00Hummingbird Plume Lookout is another of those stra...Hummingbird Plume Lookout is another of those strange names.
