註釋

A memoir of 47 plus years of working as fire lookout....Since 1974, John Crawford has left civilization behind and returned to hissummer homes at Indian Hill and Sundance Lookouts to stand guard for fires in the millions of acres of forests in northern Idaho. Totally immersed innature, he and his wife Judy, in their inaugural year, lived throughintense thunderstorms, lightning striking trees and starting forest fires, andwind-driven hail pelting the thin-paned lookout windows. Early morning visitors are the elk, deer, and moose that frequent the mountaintop. Over the years John has experienced all sorts of uniquely interesting things on a firetower on top of a mountain...missing a practice fire, an arsonist on the loose, lightning strikes hitting the tower, his lookout being threatened by a large forest fire, nearlyrunning out of food, calling the gray jays to eat out of his hand, and much more!
