The summer of 2000 marked a big change for Crow Village - the re-establishment of permanent residence. This required some drastic measures to increase the livability of existing structures including the main residence now under construction for 5+ years.

Thus a lottery was instituted for a select few spots available for the roof raising party. As luck would have it, each and every applicant to the lottery was granted a spot. Participants included Tom, Rachael, Winston, and Amanda Feyereisen, Thea Feyereisen, Seth and Ray Wood, Father Slohey, Dr Tom, Ryan Woodard, Hilary Fletcher, and BJ Woodard (Ryan's mom).

Some pictures from the event are highlighted below. Any other additions are welcome. The single most rememberable part was the episode of wind one night which caused damage to each of the tents. Another item remembered was the unescorted hiking excursion Winston and Seth took which required some rescue assistance.

Good progress was made on the main structure including the completion of the log stacking and the framing of the roof. Slohey provided some insightful direction and the first mass conducted at Crow Village in decades. In between the building efforts, there were plenty of fish caught and some mighty fine eating. Even Amanda participated in some fish harvesting and was spotted on several occasions actually eating fish!
