Green Ridge Fire Lookout, Deschutes National Forest, Oregon.
Angelique Loscar is the Director of Data Analysis for the Academy of Aid-in-Dying Medicine and a client volunteer for End of Life Choices Oregon.
“Entries in the lookout’s logbooks show that this is a place where people come during major life transitions — they get engaged here, come for comfort after a serious diagnosis, bring their new babies, etc. And the views are pretty great too.”
