The mark up on this book is ridiculous. Anyone can buy this book directly from the author Ray Kresek for $35.00, & he mails it signed.

This review is from: Fire Lookouts of the Northwest (Paperback)

Like many people, the author spent several summers atop a fire lookout in the middle of nowhere. He has a thorough list of almost every single lookout that was ever commissioned in OR, WA, and MT - which ones are still around, which ones are still operational, and which ones were ironically burnt by the Forest Service. In addition, there are plenty of colorful stories about the brave men and women who lived a very unique existence.
