Fire Lookout Friday: Monument 83, Part 2

A starry night, midnight surprise, and mysterious gravestone

The conclusion of a three-attempt journey to what might just be Washington State's most remote fire lookout. After two failed attempts in Part 1, this is the episode where I finally make it to the summit of Holdover Peak. 300 downed trees, some of the largest animal tracks I've ever seen, a spectacular sunset, and one of the most extraordinary nights I've ever spent on a fire lookout catwalk. And... a gravestone with a story that deserves its own Friday.

Fire Lookout Friday is a weekly podcast and newsletter about Washington's historic fire lookouts—their stories, their history, and the ridiculous things that happen when you decide to visit all of them. And then staff one.
