VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!!!!!!!
Anyone looking for a volunteer opportunity that has carpentry experience?

In mid-July they are looking for 2-5 volunteers with experience in roofing and flooring installation at Surveyors Lookout.
Later in the season, likely September or early October, they are looking for 2-5 volunteers with experience installing wood flooring or similar for Mallard Peak Lookout.
They also have a catwalk replacement that they need people with carpentry or structural repair experience at Snow Peak Lookout.

As we head into 2026, we have new projects in the works that we’re excited to share. If you’d like a first look and behind-the-scenes updates, be sure to sign up for our newsletter, https://www.ravensgambit.com/.

Have fun with it, be creative, unique settings or environment will gain you bonus points! Make sure some identifying feature of one of our decks is visible as well.

The picture above is from our Uncle Owen Johnson’s collection. Some young tough guys playing cards at Castle Butte Lookout in 1927. No cheating tolerated as evidenced by at least one sidearm! We doubt you will send us a pic this cool, but you are welcome to try!!
