We had a spectacular turn-out for the annual polishing of Nidaros Lodge, Camp cabins and grounds! In all the alumni and friends of Nidaros totaled 38 adults and a dozen or more kiddos from around the Pacific Northwest and California. These people volunteered for various projects, had a little beach time, made some pretty awesome bonfires at our wonderful firepit, renewed aquaintances and stretgthened friendships. I always come away happy with the thought that Nidaros has spread its “magic” throughout the decades and I’m not the only one who feels it. At one point there were two families present representing 3 generations of Camp Nidaros “Dugnad” participants.

The roof shingles are all being individually cut - to represent dragon scales - similar to the norwegian stave church roofing.
Berit and Marci were out earlier to clean up the front bed to the lodge - looks great
And up up the pole painting goes
Final - next time you see these poles there will be flags on them
On saturday evening its traditional after dinner to take a tour of the projects everyone has completed and the leads tell us what they accomplished - these ones helped cabin cleaning
Let the evening bonfire and smores begin
last woman out – a deer appeared and watched me – her observation was, “it looks good and I’m glad all the people are gone”
