Cabin Renovation Has Begun Elm and Willow are available after some construction work. We installed a new floor, which will also be done to Cottonwood, Aspen, and Cedar cabins. The new floors include geothermal heat, which will save almost 25% of our electricity. We plan to use that electricity for hot tub improvements. We plan to have the geothermal heat in all cabins online by the end of Spring 2012.

Bats Have Left The large majority of bats have left for the season. We'll miss their prodigious appetite for insects, and look forward to their return next June. More on the bats is on our Bats page.

Fire Now Allowed in the Pavilion A dose of rain this month has allowed us to allow a fire in the Pavilion. All other campfires are still prohibited, and all smoking must be kept to your vehicle.
