This project was under the supervision of GNP maintenance personnel; the NWMT-FFLA volunteer assisted where needed.  Work involved scraping and painting siding, replacing and painting skirt boards, painting stringers and stairs, and replacing and painting decking.

Our GNP liaison volunteer 

Greg Evans, once again contributed a good deal

to the project.

Thank You Greg!

The Mud Lake Lookout restoration project began in 2016 and this year’s work brought it close to completion.  

Crew members Rick Davis, Karen Sheets, and Chuck Manning worked alongside Andy Nelson, Backcountry Facility Manager on the Spotted Bear Ranger District to replace a badly damaged window and re-glaze, paint, and re-set windows on three sides of the structure.  A special thanks goes out to Salmon Forks Outfitters who donated their packers and stock to support this project.

The Meadow Peak Lookout Project brings to a close a 3 year project which began in 2016.  

The final phase consisted of installing and painting shutters, rebuilding  stairs, and addressing other maintenance needs.  

Returning this summer were volunteer crew members Terry Richmond, Harry McAllister, Neil Jensen, and Mary Ann & Ron Erickson who worked long hours to help finish this project.  Forest Service employee Aaron Minney also volunteered on his day off to help out.
