New roof on Lount Lodge

A new season at Camp Stephen's brings with it some big changes.

Lount Lodge, built in 1980-81, has got a new metal roof, thanks to Graham Lount.

Graham Lount: Lount Lodge rededication Aug. 24, 2012


The old cedar shake roof looked good, but for several reasons-pine needles being one of them-it just didn't hold up to the elements. The old shakes were removed in the late fall and the new roof has been put on over the past couple of weeks.

The background story about the roof is posted here: Lount Lodge reborn

The new roof is just one part of the upgrade of the log lodge. Over the next few months the exterior walls will be refinished to bring back the golden glow of the red pines we cut down on McPherson Island in the spring of 1980.












Also, Tara Law recently gave me some old photos of the lodge's construction I'd never seen:
