Report From Bunny!

This post was prepared by Barbara Marin (Bunny) and sent to the blog while she was up at the campsite during the volunteer construction week on Monday, May 4th. The post entry has been backdated to April 30 to tell the whole story in chronological order.

Last fall we cleared land out of the forest to make room for 10 cabins. On April 18th, a few diehards went up to 'open' camp and prepare for cabin construction. 'Dragonfly' & 'Black Bear' got the water running so we could all have hot showers and cook. Then Paul, our cabin designer, along with Kathy & Fred, Charles & Philip, & Dave & Barbara began marking out the area where the cabins would be located. On the 22nd, Brian joined us in the race to get the footings ready for construction by Saturday. On the 23rd, 'Frog', who has a John Deere dealership in Rockland, very generously loaned us his backhoe and dug the holes for the foundations of the cabins. I cooked and tried to keep the place clean and tidy. By Friday we were all prepared to begin the footing construction!

Check out these photos showing the work that was done over the last few weeks of April!
