Timber Mountain fire lookouts lone but linked to world
Don Stone spent a summer as a forest fire lookout on Timber Mountain Washington living in a 14 by 14 foot room with 177 window panes and a 77 step wooden tower. He watched 50 miles across valleys scanned by a fire finder and kept in touch by telephone. only five fires appeared that season though previous years saw more. The job required 24 hour vigilance, rough meals from a wood stove and lengthy supply runs for water and mail while deer porcupines and a loyal cocker spaniel named Silk accompanied him.
