We've Come A Long Way, Baby

 

Spring of '08 was momentous for Big Canyon. We finished the first lodge. Aspen Lodge sleeps 48 and sits in an open meadow surrounded by beautiful mountain views. It was in full use all summer and many weekends in the fall.

We needed one more thing. A place to feed these people.

Next Project: Kitchen/Dining Hall

Because we did not have the moola to build the actual Dining Hall, we decided to build a Yurt. Yep, a yurt.  Scroll down and watch the progress of our future "Silver Spur Cafe"...

Preparing the ground

Final touches to the kitchen wall. Kitchen and pantry are supplied.

Done!

This weekend (tonight) is our first group that we will cook for/serve them in the Silver Spur Cafe. We are excited!

Please be praying for the men that will be here this weekend.
