For today only, this title is only $1.99, and it looks to be well worth it:

Fire Season: Field Notes from a Wilderness Lookou (http://www.amazon.com/Fire-Season-Field-Wilderness-Lookout-ebook/dp/B004IWR3KQ/ref=br_lf_m_7533915011_1_13_ttl?ie=UTF8&s=digital-text&pf_rd_p=1714748242&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=7533915011&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0BEK8HDMFG6WPWDVSM05)t

Blurb from the Amazon page:
Phillip Connors is a major new voice in American nonfiction, and his remarkable debut, Fire Season, is destined to become a modern classic. An absorbing chronicle of the days and nights of one of the last fire lookouts in the American West, Fire Season is a marvel of a book, as rugged and soulful as Matthew Crawford’s bestselling Shop Class as Soulcraft, and it immediately places Connors in the august company of Edward Abbey, Annie Dillard, Aldo Leopold, Barry Lopez, and others in the respected fraternity of hard-boiled nature writers.

Fantastic book, well written and full of interesting stories and information. The author uses a fake name for the peak, but it's obviously Hillsboro, right on the Columbus route of the CDT.
