Lookout History Book

In addition to visiting every standing lookout in Oregon I’m also working on a book of fire lookout history. The book will be photo-driven and will consist of historic lookout photos with short 70-word captions. If you have historic photos to share I’d love to see them. I’m also very interested in hearing interesting, funny, and adventuresome stories from those of you who have worked at lookouts in the past. Visit the Contact page to submit your story or tell me about a photo you’d like to share.


Grasshopper Point in 1963. The lookout was removed in 1969.
