Dismantling and Moving the Eaton Lodge

So here we are...taking the beautiful Lodge apart for it's move!!
Amazing as it may seem, the subfloor, timbers and flooring are all in superb condition.
We want you to see how much work has already been done by our incredible volunteers!!
Thanks to our Volunteer Supervisor and Coordinator, Dave Curran and Mary Abramson, our
Contractor, Duane Thorsteinson and the willing participation of all the wonderful volunteers
who never lost their smiles in the cold of last winter.

The Ranch brands on the rafters!
