I asked him the usual questions.
Where was he from?
What did he do?
He said he was from Colorado, doing a multi-week road trip through the West, trying to bag some remote lookouts on the way.
He said he liked fire towers.
He had hiked up to 12 or 13 of them over the past few years.
He said this tower had been on his list for a while.
He said he appreciated me letting him come up.
I gave him the usual tour.
Showed him the fire finder.
Showed him the radio.
Showed him the panorama maps.
He asked good questions.
He was engaged.
He was easy to talk to.
He stayed about 25 minutes.
And then he signed the visitor log and he started down the stairs.
Before he went down, he turned and said, What's the daily routine for you up here?
I'm curious.
I said, check-ins at 8 in the morning and 6 in the evening.
