Work Week #2 observations

(Post by Barry Arnold)

Gordon Wood and I returned to Oregon today after at nearly a week at KHBC. Both Gordon and I were taken back last Saturday when we walked up over the riverbank and saw the new covered play area all done and the dining hall roof on. You guys (and ladies) who made up work week #1 worked HARD! Wow! And what nice work, too. The play area is going to be a great help on those rainy days when Porcupine Hall is just to small to contain antsy campers.

It was fun having Horst and Rob Mager, world famous chefs, there to work with Larry and Billie. Wednesday night Horst treated us all to the cheese fondue which made his Rhinelander restaurant here in Portland a landmark.

Chief covered a lot of ground (and cut a lot of grass, willows, and bushes) with the new Billy Goat mower. The winter caretaker cabin had 3 rounds of logs on it when I left camp. The plan was to spend most of today cleaning up the grounds -- in preparation for the arrival of the camp staff, tomorrow.

Thank you to all who prayed and sacrificed to make these first two work weeks happen. We had no major accidents and only one injury -- from someone falling out of bed. (Really.)
