Mica Moutain Marathon 2008

Question for the long time runners of this route. Is the attached picture the old Mica Mountain fire tower? (see the end of this post).

A very nice day for a run. Everyone was off at 6:33. Some negative comments about the steps above cowhead and some steep sections. Once above that the trail was really nice, the water cool and delicious and the deer were abundant. Lots of wild flowers out to delight the eye. A breeze came up around 10 AM which helped keep the runners cool on the way down from the mountain. Another successful adventure.
