MemoriesThese pictures bring back good memories. It was the Summer of 1969. I had just graduated high school (Grants Pass) and my first post-hs job was as the resident Lookout on Pearsoll. I understand that I was the last resident Lookout on this mountain. After that, when the USFS needed eyes on the peak, like after a lightning storm, the Ranger from Store Gulch would drive up and stay a day or two.
The highlight of my stay was the night following lightning activity that I woke up around midnight and spotted fireglow on the ridge to the east, across the Illinois R. I radioed the Asst. Head Ranger in Cave Junction w/ a fire call and started to list the pertinent information.
After stopping in mid-sentence and a lo-o-o-ng pause, I apologized to him for making a fire report on the rising moon.
He was understanding.
Just out of this picture (14 of 17), at the bottom right, there should be a rock w/my initials "rlk" chipped into it.

Re: MemoriesAmazing as it may seem, I remember seeing those initials on a rock. Never dreamed that the author of those initials would comment on a picture I took later on. Thanks for sharing your story, it certainly adds a dimension of specialness to this one.
