I've been to Goat Peak Lookout twice on a Mountaineers hike, met you personally and had pictures taken with you and the lookout dogs. The Forest Fire Lookout Association Convention will be held in Snohomish, WA this year. I am partly helping out with the event. We are looking for speakers for the convention and I know you will be a great speaker. The convention schedule is Sept. 25 - 27. We would like to invite you to be a speaker on Sept 26. I am aware that you are still on duty at Goat Peak until October. It will be great to have you (a 4th generation lookout?) come and speak at the convention. You will also have the opportunity to meet lookouts not only from around the country but from around the world. Sincerely, Bernadette Lamarca Hello Lightning Bill,

Adam District of the Gifford Pinchot N.F. It was a two person lookout with trail clearing duties on the Cascade Crest trail. Forrest Couch was my companion. We both ended up with Forest Service careers. He in business mgt and me in range,wildlife and watershed work. I spent a couple of years as District Ranger in Southern Oregon. I served on two other lookouts part time over the years. Great experience. I can see why you keep going back. One of the most unique lookouts I have visited was one in a giant Ponderosa pine tree. It was set on the cut off top. Don't remember how tall it was. Maybe I will get up to visit this summer. Spent the summer of 53′ at Summit Prairie Lookout on Mt.
