Sample Notes from our Contributors
Thanks for the words of Support! It means a great deal to all the volunteers.
"I was thrilled to discover that Rondaxe/Bald has been adopted
and will be restored. I have the pleasure of being on the Azure Mt. Fire
Tower Committee. We restored Azure last year. .... I'll be back to climb
Bald again since we were totally fogged in last weekend - Jan. 3,
2004."

"On September 27th, I took my Webelo Den of 6 boys on our first
real mountain hike. I chose Bald Mountain because a friend recommended it
to me as a good starter trip. My scouts were very pleased with the hike
and the view from the top. They of course would liked to have climbed the
tower. They were excited to hear that it is being restored and hope to
return when completed. As a momento of our first of many trips I would
like to order 6 Friends of Bald Mt. patches. Very best of luck on your
worthwhile project."

"Thank you for all the beautiful work you have done on the tower
restoration. We visited on a beautiful day last September with a group
from the ADK Onondaga Chapter."

"Bald Mountain and the fire tower were a huge part of my childhood
life and continue as an adult. I can see the tower from the beach near my
camp and my father took my family and myself hiking up Bald Mountain every
year since I could walk. Now I continue to take my son there several times
each year."
Signed Kyle |
"Please accept this donation to the Bald Mt. Fire Tower Restoration
Project. It is in memory of my mother Mary ... who summered on Rondaxe
Lake and always enjoyed the fire tower."
