The Heart of the Lookout: Part I

from The Outfall Podcast · host The Outfall

We go on the front lines of a drought from a unique vantage point—a fire tower. Tim Cash, a retired career public servant with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division, shares his eye-opening adventures of operating a fire tower for the US Forest Service this past year. So how do you get to spend a summer out west in a tower? For Tim, it only took him over forty years. Check out the show notes to see his wonderful pictures of the fire tower. Our next episode will conclude our conversation with Tim Cash, shifting gears from talking about the lookout itself to the elements. We are talking fire, smoke, and lightning. Since 2019, The Outfall podcast has been sharing the backstories of our water world and infrastructure worldwide. We thank you for listening and continuing to support us.
