This shelter has had a face-lifting and is now quite livable Two college students under the direction of Roy Buchanan spent a week repairing the roof and-bunks. They also built a new retaining wall at the front. In the future, Roy recommended that a new building rather than repairs would be in order as the foundation logs are rotting badly [LT News, Feb. 1953]
