Advisory: New Roof Installation Starts October 4th

News from Teri:

 

Eureka!! – the work on the new roof is scheduled to begin tomorrow. Don and I will be on site to let the contractor in, although the weather may delay the start to later in the week.

The contractor, Edward Corey, is putting pilons across the driveway after the fire road, when his trucks are in the turn-around. Keyholders will have access to the driveway and can turn around in the fire road.

Access to the lodge will be minimally restricted for about two weeks. The downstairs will be fully accessible. The crew will work with keyholders who wish to access the top floor, depending on where they are working.

Photos from Camp Sept 26-30

A few pics from camp and around, thanks to Ingrid, Marty and Karen M.

Ingrid: I was at camp last weekend, and it turned into a sort of informal work weekend.
The attached photos show Michael Wiehart pumping water out of the rowboat, and the other shows Kate Walker, Sarah Lang Wiehart, and me coming back from doing trail maintenance on the White Cross.
Marty and Karen McDonald hiked around Lake Skenanto and the area during the week. Very little fall color in the leaves but you can feel the change coming.
