Résumé
The Gila landscape, rugged and roadless, - and the 1st region in the world to officially be off-limits to industrial machines - is typically hit by lightning more than 30,000 times per year. Written with startling beauty from a 10,000… foot firewatch perch, the book is filled with reflections on nature and historic events of the region, as well as musings on other writers who had served as lookouts before him.
