Your lodging is absolutely free. You’ll be provided with a furnished cabin, complete with a propane powered refrigerator and range (sorry, no electricity or running water available in historic ghost towns). You’ll even be paid a stipend and allotted a food allowance.

All you’d have to do is assist with tours, help set up exhibits, work in the gift shop, and other general upkeep. Oh, and, you know, live with the creepy sounds of haunting laughter and music that’s often heard in Kelly’s Saloon, the most active spot on the premises.

…Volunteers are really left to their own devices after the visitors are gone.” says U.S. Bureau of Land Management Garnet Ranger Nacoma Gainan. “We rely on volunteers to do much of our day-to-day stuff. We can’t hire full-time personnel or even seasonal personnel. But we have all the stuff you need to live there,”

Visitors and volunteers have reported doors opening and closing without explanation, and hearing footsteps running throughout the old Wells Hotel.

For all you laid off oil workers. Might have to change that oil field trash tat though.

The story doesn't show where it is but it's in Montana east of Missoula. Glacier NP isn't terribly far. Honestly, I'd be tempted to do it. Sounds like a great way to spend a summer.

If I was young and single with no job I'd go for it (at least for a summer). Sounds like an adventure.

So the BLM doesn't have to pay the federal minimum wage?
