The large cavity in the Lodge foundation has been filled! Our first time stonemasons, Mike and Carl, did a great job in nearly completing this repair. They instructed me to finish the tuck pointing before the end of the summer. Actually they strongly hinted that the tuck pointing should be completed by June 13th, but I have never been one one who could follow instructions.
Thursday I picked up Andrey, one of our summer staff, who is from the Ukraine at the Duluth airport. He has excellent English comprehension and is a very fast learner. Still a little shy about speaking English but as his confidence increases he is starting to open up and is becoming more comfortable speaking with us foreigners. If you get a chance to come up to Rockwood this summer be sure to visit with him. We are expecting that Ting, our other staff member from China, will be here in a couple of weeks.
We went from a campfire ban on Monday to flooding and road closures by Friday. The water level on Poplar Lake has raised over 10.5 inches in the past 5 days! All of the feeder creeks are flowing and there is water seeping out of the ground is places that were bone dry last week.
