SUMMARY:August Privy Builds
DESCRIPTION:We’re building new privies at the Avery Memorial\, Safford Notch\, and Spaulding Mountain campsites this summer\, and need your help! The plan is for the materials to be helicoptered to these sites on one day in early August; we’ll build them after that. Dates will fall within the following range and will be finalized as the season progresses\, depending on conditions and overall progress. \n\nAugust 8-9 (if the airlift has happened)\nAugust 15-16\nAugust 22-23\nAugust 29-30\n\nAccess to these campsites is as follows: \n\nAvery Memorial: 4.0 miles with 2\,670 feet of elevation gain\nSafford Notch: 2.3 miles with 1\,225 feet of elevation gain\nSpaulding Mountain: 3.4 miles with 1\,250 feet of elevation gain\n\nDue to the long access\, these trips will be two days and we will be in backpacking mode (staying at the campsites). However\, we can accommodate day-trippers to Safford Notch (it’s a bit closer)\, and we’ll also be looking for people to come in on just the Sunday of the build weekend to help haul out tools. \nPlease join us! Those of you involved in past projects can attest to the camaraderie\, satisfaction\, and good fun with these projects!

SUMMARY:Privy Pre-Build: Fall Edition
DESCRIPTION:Join us for some hands‑on construction fun! We’ll be building\, organizing lumber\, and packaging materials as we pre‑assemble one of the privies for the 2027 season in Palmyra. This early build is needed because the Rainbow Spring privy will be transported to the campsite by snowmobile during the winter of 2027\, ahead of the usual spring pre‑build.
