so as y'all know, the old dome came down a few weeks ago. around the same time, the hostel purchased some land out on our borders that are slowly being invaded by development. (you can see houselights at night from the lake.)

for the first time in a long time, or maybe ever, the hostel has a mortgage payment, and is looking to secure its borders on other sides as well.

to help raise money to shepherd it along down this new path, the hostel is selling off 100 cedar shingles from the old dome, at $100 a piece. all money will go towards the new land, not towards operations or into anyone's pocket. (especially the staff, ha ha.) it comes in its own neat little package, stamped and loved up by hostel staff.

if you'd like to own a piece of hostel in the forest history that you can fondle with your hands and support the hostel with some dollars, contact the hostel for more info. (free lung infection from mold with every shingle! no extra charge!)

a new dome will be erected over the course of the spring and summer, with help from old friends like dirt and mattchew, and new friends who are called forth by the forest. new staff housing is currently going up along the old path to the lake.

peace y'all,

poppy
