The visitor's log at the tower for the 2005 fall migration season showed entries from 24 states,  Washington, D. C. and Japan. A total of 842 different people took the time to sign in, some leaving notes about the experience. Since only a little more than half  our visitors sign the log, it is safe to say we had in excess of 1500 visitors. Below is a list of the places mentioned in this year's book, and also some of the comments.
