Report to the Architect


Dear Bob Patty, et al,

Just to let you know the camp is still there, unmolested; unless one considers a "Kilroy was here" note from Fred and Norma Reker a molestation. They visited the week after we closed for the winter and had been there for the first floor platform framing.

We were able to drive as far as our driveway. The story we got from a nieghbor who was up on Klondike Rd was the town has been sending the road grader down the mountain after each snow storm to plow the half mile up to Wally Dolle's farm from Mass., because it saves on the chains, which wear out on the blacktop if they send the grader around through Clartksburg Mass to do the same half mile. Fine with us.

We snow shoed through 2 inch breakable crust covering soft powder. A lot of work for the thighs, but we made it to the top of the powerline cut. The weather was in the 40's and beautifully sunny. Saw an excellant concert of Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer at MASS MoCA on Saturday night and stopped at the Worcester Art Museum for another look at the Antioch Roman moasics on the way to visit our almost here grandson and his almost parents on Sunday.

I am working on the dimensioned drawings for the camp kitchen. I'll send you gray prints when I'm done. Spring and the resuming of Mountain Labor seems pretty close....love BSB
