I have been waiting for you to comment on this fire. I still vividly remember reading “Fire on the Rim” as a teenager. Looking forward to seeing your thoughts!

When I'm wondering what mountains I see, I like the PeakFinder app www.peakfinder.com (no relation to the developer, just a satisfied user).
