Summer is coming. See an ad in the paper for a job and take it.

Arrive at the Two Forks Lookout Tower. You cannot interact with cache boxes. South of Cache 307 is blocked by trees. The trail northeast of Two Forks is blocked by a sign. The path north of Cache 306 is overgrown and blocked. You need rope to climb down the Lake Trail to the west. A potential path south to Cache 308 is also blocked.

Climb the stairs to the top of the lookout tower. Open the door to go inside. Do not turn on the power yet.

Examine the items in the tower: the Flora of the Shoshone Poster, a Broken Clock, the Old Wood Stove, a Cookbook, National Forest Guide, a Water Jug, and the Map Table. On the bookshelf are "Glory" by Michelle Macmanus and "The Singular Mind" by Dr. Jonas Allard. Pick up a Pine Cone by the Old Wood Stove and another Pine Cone on the desk. Open the left Desk Drawer to find Eight the Hard Way by Richard Sturgeon.

Interact with the Desk Lamp, the Lightswitch, and the blinking Generator Switch. You must turn on the generator first to power the lights.

Use the blinking Generator Switch to turn on the power. You can then turn off the lights using the light switch.

Delilah from Thorofare Tower will speak to you. If lights are off, she says, "Your lights aren't on." If lights are on, she says, "I know you're there. Your lights are on."

Delilah will say, "Hello, Two Forks Tower!" and later, "Hello, Two Forks? Come back. Pick up your radio." and "Two Forks Tower, this is Thorofare Tower. Come in."

Pick up the Radio from the desk (required).

Hold Left Shift to activate the radio. Use the mouse wheel or Up/Down Arrow Keys to highlight a response. Release Left Shift to respond.

Henry: "Hello?" (required)

Delilah will respond. You will have dialogue choices, such as: "You've killed three ex-husbands.", "You're rebelling against mom.", or "Nobody back home can stand you.".

The day ends after Delilah's introduction.
