4 CRYSTAL LODGE WORK PARTY Crystal Lodge Information Thank you to all the members who came out and participated in the Lodge Work Party! A lot of great work was accomplished to get the lodge ready for the season. To make a reservation visit the Lodge section of our website. The butcher block island in the kitchen was updated to allow for separate bins to sort compostables, glass, other recyclables, and dry garbage!

Both will provide members with well dried supplies when lighting the first fires of the weekend Trim on the Northside and Southside dining room door (left) were replaced.

Information A new method for enclosing the firewood is set back from the edge of the deck to keep Snow from piling in, and is brown rather than bright blue to be less obtrusive Check out activities near the Lodge Firewood bought by skibacs and donated by a member was stacked under the deck in a new configuration design to keep it dryer. The huge pile of wood and metal trash in front of the building was carted away in a large truck load. A whole bunch of brush and small trees that were encroaching on the covered walkway got removed.
