Thanks for posting, nick. I was a firefighter at Big Basin the summer of '74. It was the year Cal Forestry moved the FF station back into the park...lots of great memories flooding back.
The previous summer, I was stationed at Saratoga Summit, on Skyline Drive. Couldn't have asked for a better summer job during college.

In 1974 I was fighting range fires for the BLM, in the Owyhee country of SE Oregon. It wasn’t until 1977 that I went to the Gold Beach district on the west side. Never did get to a fire in the redwood country, though.
1974-1985, BLM and USFS. Great times, but it’d kill me quick now.
