It’s Spring at Coast Mountain!

Spring is always a busy time around here. Sometimes I think it’s busier in spring than the actual working season which tends to be the months of June, July, August and September. I like to think that this time of year, I’m busy getting ready to be busy.

It rains almost as much in April as it does in November, but at least it’s warmer. I still need to wear rain gear but the poly long johns have been put away for the year. And of course, the days are much longer which means I can usually accomplish something important in a single day, or as Lannie likes to put it, scratch something off the list!
During the winter months, between dealing with rain, snow and sub-zero temperatures, there’s only 6 or 7 hours of daylight…you just get going and it’s time to go inside.

There’s also something about light that seems to energize a person. On those gloomy light-less days in December, I sleep much more than I need to. In April, I find the energy to stay out from dawn till dusk.  However, I'm not usually very interesting company after 8:00 PM.

This years list: A new bridge over the creek at Coast Mountain, A new porch roof over the lodge front entry way, replace a rotted out beam beneath the lodge kitchen, a major renovation at Discovery Islands Lodge and re-decking the float at Hill Island. Of course there are a hundred smaller things too tedious to mention.

We look forward to seeing you in the late spring and summer.
