Anyone heard anything about cabin rebuilding plans? Or any news about the fire investigation?
Good news about the shelter. The columbian news paper said it's going to get rebuilt this summer. Saw it in the sports section today 05/26/11
Forest service response;
I finally heard back from the FS and I thought I would share the information;
"We have in fact been receiving allot of comments about the cabin at Marble Mountain SnoPark and offers of help to rebuild and provide donations. It was very disappointing for everyone to see the building burn down. Yesterday the Mount St. Helens Trackriders and the Mount St. Helens Institute met with us to discuss efforts to rebuild the cabin. They will be joining as partners to take the lead in collecting donations and recruiting volunteers to help with the construction. The Institute will be leading the collections and the Trackriders will be leading the clean-up and reconstruction. The plan is to utilize logs from the National Forest and build the structure with volunteer labor. The collections will be used to pay for someone to process the logs and purchase supplies for the roof, doors, and windows. The Mount St. Helens Institute can take donations at any time and will soon set up a page on their website to take donations on-line. Here is a link to their website. http://www.mshinstitute.org/
