Sierra Centennial by Gene Rose
&#8220;Once there were 8000 fire lookouts across the United States, but now only 2000 remain. Of these, 600 are in active use for fire detection, and 100 of these are [...]]]></description>

The dam is going to break.
Well, not really, but you wouldn&#8217;t know it by the staggering array of federal, state and local agency representatives flocking to the Crane Valley Dam.
