Hey Earthwalker;
The June '18 issue has a pretty decent article on fire watchers.
Reprint from Sept. '67

That would be neat to see and read.

Maybe ko ko can provide a link for an online article. He possesses awesome computer skills.
Good hunting. El Bee

You're killin' me !!!
I still think that completing a transaction with PayPal is a pretty big deal.
Maybe Paul can help.

I am an analog man stuck in a digital world !
I can do a search and buy a drive belt for a Kawasaki brute force 650 !

And I can tell time from a real clock !

Okay, yeah Paul. But I bet that Mivado is a real challenge.

With analog you can use your watch for a compass, too.
Point the hour hand toward the sun......
Ok, since Paul let us down when we were all depending on him. ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
Earthwalker, email your snail mail address to El Bee, he can forward it to me, and I'll send you the article.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on June 26, 2018, 11:20 AM:
Absolutely! And, I'm reasonable.
edit: wait! Paul let us down again? What was he supposed to do? As a form of punishment, all I can do is take away his vowels, if that would help?

LEONARD, QUIT IT !!
I would have sent the entire magazine but there was another article that I filed & by then there wasn't a whole lot left.

Ko ko,
Was finally able to read the lookout story and it was spot on.
A very good truthful read. Wish it was like that in my area. At least I'm not in a tower. I don't like them. I'm a urban lookout and deal with more man caused than lightning anymore.
Thanks once again. The story will go into the album at the lookout.

When that article was written there weren't nearly as many people out recreating and in general, people had more common sense.
Good to see that the article was accurately written. Too often, articles are a writers 'impression' & they usually get it wrong.

When the author wrote about her first fire and how she banged her head and so forth. I knew the feeling. I use to get extremely wound up. Always had to take a deep breath before talking on the radio so no one would hear the nerves in my voice.
Those days are over with. Only time I get wound up is when I get a fire close. I've had to leave the mountain twice now. Hope I don't have to run again.
