About Us

I've had a love affair with history and exploring new places since childhood - cue the Johnny Quest theme music. I am especially fascinated by mining and logging history of the American West - but more specifically the people that created and shaped that history. Life would be perfect if every second was spent with dirt under my boots (or tires) and a dog at my side.

I have been interested in the history of lookouts for quite some time. A few years ago during a photography workshop (incidentally where I met Cat), I visited my first lookout in person. I have been hooked ever since and plan many of my photography trips, hiking, backpacking and camping trips, and weekend drives around finding and experiencing new lookouts.
