Description

One of the most endangered sites in Oregon, Rancheria Rock Lookout is worth saving. The Oregon Department of Forestry model 14' x 14' cab was built in the 1950s, replacing an earlier structure dating from the 1930s. Located on BLM land, it is no longer in active service. There is interest in neighbors and the community in restoring it in association with a nearby state park. The Oregon Chapter of the FFLA is handling communications on the project.
