oft013 23 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It's nice to see maintenance being done. We have had several trips where everything was starting to look run down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 Spoke with the workers on 7/3. They were attaching copper caps to the top of the log ends. They said they had to replace the top 3 logs due to rot. Now they are protecting them with the caps. Some have already started to turn green. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 The old look-out on top of Pioneer Hall has been replaced with a smaller, solid-walled version.

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Did you ever see anyone standing in the old one? Looks like it would be a good view from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Did you ever see anyone standing in the old one? Looks like it would be a good view from there. One of my unfulfilled goals in life was to get up there and see the view. I was never able to find access, and I'm not sure there was access, other than from the roof itself. Now, it looks like there's no point in going up there. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Very interesting. I wonder why the change?Either critter issues (birds, bats) or even water issues with the flat roof where it met the wall and the posts. 5kidsmommy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Obviously I have a spy in my midst who alerted Disney to my plans. That was going to be TCD's and my next great mission.....to scale that roof and raise a Four Seasons flag on the top of Pioneer Hall. We made it this far a few years back.

That was going to be TCD's and my next great mission.....to scale that roof and raise a Four Seasons flag on the top of Pioneer Hall. We made it this far a few years back. Excellent photoshop job. It looks like we're really up there on the balcony. But that's not possible. Here's a question I have. You know this tower they have on the official Fort Wilderness logo?: I always thought that was a stylized version of the look-out that used to be on the Pioneer Hall roof. Am I right?: If not, where else is there anything in the Fort that looks like that? So, now that they've replaced the look out with that stubby, solid-walled thing, what happens with the official logo? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
