Peter J. Barr (Whippersnap)

Jester has been obsessed with the Fire Towers in North Carolina and beyond for several years. This obsession is partly the fault of Peter Barr. Peter wrote a book back in 2008 titled, Hiking North Carolina's Lookout Towers and the book included a "Tower Challenge." Jester accepted the challenge and has been to all but a few towers from that book. Peter Barr has fueled Jester's love for NC Fire Towers again by releasing his updated book, Exploring North Carolina's Lookout Towers! As you will hear, Peter is an avid hiker with a love for Lookout Towers, Peakbagging, and adventuring with his wife, Allison Barr.
