Leslie Romer published this book in December 2021. She has introduced me to several sites I had no idea about. Her book is an excellent guide for where to go on your next hike to avoid the crowds.
Ralph and Peggy Owen are on a mission to visit and research as many re-located fire lookouts as possible. Ralph has put together a very informative website.
