If you bring stock animals, keep them tethered when not in use, and bring weed-free feed for them. If you bring stoves or lanterns, we suggest propane fuel since it burns cleaner than liquid gas. Most of these lookouts and cabins already have an established fire ring. Please use it. Do not establish another.
Campfires are a luxury.
Please be kind to the woods by keeping your fire very small. Though we traveled thousands of miles visiting these destinations in an attempt to give you the best possible directions, due to ever-changing road names and numbers on Forest Service lands in the Pacific Northwest, and seasonal road closures, we urge readers to consult knowledgeable Ranger District personnel prior to each trip in order to get the most current information. We would greatly appreciate being notified, via Wilderness Press, of any changes that may have occurred since the books publication. Your correspondence will help us improve later editions. How to Rent a Fire Lookout in the Pacific Northwest is available from the Adventurous Traveler Bookstore.
