As a service to its mmbers, their immediate

waste baskets emptied and all trash containers shall be emptied.
The kitchen, if used, shall also be fully cleaned, including
sweeping and mopping, and any unused food or food containers

to be a positive experience for you. Please use good judgment
and common sense while using the facility. Please supervise
all members of your group to ensure everyone’s safety,
particularly around the stairs, bathrooms and outside decks
and steps.

fire could cause a major disaster in this area. All trees
in the area are National Forest and it is against the law
to cut them for firewood or remove them from the area. There
is wood that may be burned in the fireplace outside the shed
behind the building.
