I hiked this and spent the night atop Armer, there is a lot more fresh blow down trees from the recent winds. The wreckage of a C-47 transport plane is on the summits westerly mountainside 19 West Point cadets, four crew members and five other passengers aboard the plane died when it disappeared in a storm December 1951. It has been about 20 years since I last paid my respects to those lost here, I noticed that others are starting to build a small monument near the crash sight. If one attempts to investigate the crash sight, be carefull it is dangerous. There is several reports about the crash that one should be read before going. I would also read up on the Armer sawmill and other history about the mountain. It make for a much more humbling trip.
