Overview

I’m not sure if this is the exact spot but the tower almost definitely stands on this side of Little and Big McDougal Lakes. It’s an octagonal tower that still has its cab. A video from it can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/wayne.gagnon.9/videos/187269694657102/?q=Village%20of%20Thorne%2C%20Ontario%2C%20Canada%20tower .
