I promised I'd post these openings as I found out about them. I talked with Crystal about this lookout for one of my kin (who chickened out). She said that there are very few fires in a normal year. Good job for a grad student working on a dissertation or a writer, she said. Drive-in lookout, with a 4X4. Remote, yet close to town (Challis, ID?). I'm guessing that it is a mid-June to late-August gig.

Meanwhile, I'm already outfitting for my return to the Deschutes NF as a lookout for the 2010 season. Same place. Same dog. Different truck, I hope (I need a 4x4). Maybe a small travel trailer too.

Working on the book and movie list for 2010. I'm thinking, read the biggies: "War & Peace," "Ulysses," "The Dubliners," etc. Why not?
