About Where in the Wild is Chris?
Sharing the history and stories of Washington's fire lookouts
Photographer, storyteller, seasonal USFS fire lookout, and longtime fire lookout nerd. Living off-grid in Washington's Methow Valley with three horses and a cattle dog. 🌻
I create Fire Lookout Friday, a free weekly podcast and newsletter about Washington's historic fire lookouts—their stories, their history, and the ridiculous things that happen when you visit them all. And then staff one.
I also maintain the TrailChick Washington State Fire Lookout Guide, sharing years of research, photography, and adventures exploring Washington's historic lookouts.
If my stories or lookout resources have helped, entertained, or inspired your next adventure, you can buy the ponies a carrot to help support the work. 🥕🐴
Every little bit helps keep the stories and resources coming. Thank you for being here!
