Outdoor Leadership and the Senior Cabin

Outdoor Leadership recently took a day trip followed by a hard luck trip to the senior cabin. The senior cabin (one of the old freshman cabins was moved to the base of Grass Mountain by the class of 1996), has been in need of some TLC since a tree fell upon it earlier this winter.  The group made some basic repairs to shore up some broken rafters and patch significant holes in the roof. The cabin will need some more significant work in the next year, but the work of the Outdoor Leadership students will carry it through the rest of the winter.
