Ha i live in oak hall apartments now

[blackcat2801]

Oak Hall was ancient 25 years ago! I lived on the 1st floor far end unit. It had base board electric heat & no insulated windows (single plate glass). In Winter, it got so cold, moisture would condensate on the inside windows & freeze. Rent was $250/mo for furnished unit (did not include power). I was up there during Xmas and was surprised to see Oak Hall was still there. I thought it would have been demolished by now :-)

I used to go up to the Firetower a lot when I went to school from 95-99. I bought a new Jeep WK in 2006 and took it up there. The road was worse than I ever remember it. But the view at the top was beautiful as always. It was snowing up at the tower, but you could see the temperature line in the atmosphere that was warmer because the snow evaporated.

I TOOK A FRIEND TO THE TOWER BACK IN THE 70s AND WE WENT UP INTO IT. THERE WAS QUIET A GOOD VIEW.

THE FIRETOWER IS GONE! THE MTN IS A PRIVATE SUBDIVISION AND THE ROADS ARE PRIVATELY MAINTAINED! THE POLICE WILL BE CALLED AND YOU WILL BE EITHER TICKETED OR ARRESTED FOR TRESSPASSING!

SPIKE-STRIPS ARE PLACED ACROSS THE ROADS IN DIFFERENT AREAS! STAY AWAY!

@2003slvrgt STAY THE F-AWAY FROM THE OLD FIRETOWER AREA! IT'S A PRIVATE SUBDIVISION WITH PRIVATELY MAINTAINED ROADS!

Watching a meteor shower form the firetower in August 93 was awesome, too.

I lived in the house seen out the Oak Hall window at :49 sec. in from '93-'95. I was told it used to be the old rugby house. Well, we didn't play rugby but we had some ragin parties there. Insane 2 years but 2 of the best no doubt, still amazed I passed my classes.

I was up there 2 weekends ago and the firetower box and stairs have all been torn down. It is really sad to see. Now it looks like a glorified cell tower.

I went there two days ago and some dumb redneck said he was gonna call me in and charge me with a trespassing ticket. He said we was "tired of these F-ing kids tearing up his road" he said he spent $7000 on fixing the road. i'd say he wasted his money cause the ruts were so deep that i got a tire off the ground twice in my toyota...
