135 – Rod Dow (Legendary Smoke Jumper)

By July 25, 2015May 30th, 2022No Comments

Rod and Justin (episode 99) met years ago fighting forest fires. Justin and I drove up to Rod’s amazing spread east of Mount Rainier and spent a night in Paradise. As you’ll see in the photos below, Rod’s building skills are equal to his firefighting abilities. He’s a tough, smart, open-hearted, humble man who’ll no-doubt be embarrassed at being called “legendary,” but everyone else says that’s the word for him. Get a copy of Rod’s book!

Theme Music: Basin and Range/Carsie Blanton. Featured song: Nostalgia, by James Thomas (Before the Light).
