<strong>Timberline</strong>’s new Winter<br />
Entrance on <strong>the</strong> way up!<br />
Five <strong>year</strong>s have passed since <strong>the</strong> <strong>Friends</strong> took <strong>the</strong> initiative<br />
<strong>of</strong> solving <strong>the</strong> riddle <strong>of</strong> “if, when and how” <strong>the</strong> lingering<br />
question <strong>of</strong> pursuing a new winter entrance for <strong>Timberline</strong><br />
Lodge should be approached. Five <strong>year</strong>s during which <strong>the</strong><br />
exciting design by NE Works (now “rhiza A+B”) emerged from<br />
an international competition and during which public musings<br />
about <strong>the</strong> heart and soul <strong>of</strong> this seasonal companion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Lodge did create enough interest to help spark a fundraising<br />
response <strong>of</strong> true communal proportions. This response during<br />
a time <strong>of</strong> economic downturn confirmed once more <strong>the</strong><br />
affection <strong>of</strong> Oregonians for <strong>Timberline</strong> Lodge, but also reflected<br />
<strong>the</strong> enthusiasm this visionary design had stirred.<br />
As <strong>of</strong> May, 2009, $773,000 as a combination <strong>of</strong> cash and<br />
in-kind services have been raised to finance <strong>the</strong> construction<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> two stages <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Winter Entrance. The replacement<br />

<strong>Joachim</strong> <strong>Grube</strong> is inspecting <strong>the</strong> work before a<br />
meeting with <strong>the</strong> Architects and IMD.<br />
construction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> concrete steps and landings at <strong>the</strong> main<br />
entrance, toge<strong>the</strong>r with new foundations, started in late summer<br />
<strong>of</strong> 2008 and was accomplished mainly through in-kind services<br />
by a coalition <strong>of</strong> contractors, subcontractors and suppliers<br />
under <strong>the</strong> coordination <strong>of</strong> H<strong>of</strong>fman Construction, closely<br />
monitored by engineers <strong>of</strong> USFS. This first stage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> project<br />
was completed in November, 2008.<br />
The manufacturing <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second stage, <strong>the</strong> twelve aluminum<br />
arches, each assembled from three components covered with<br />
translucent polycarbonate panels, started at <strong>the</strong> workshop <strong>of</strong><br />
IMD (Innovative Metal Design LLC) in July, 2008.<br />
Due to timing sequences in <strong>the</strong> fundraising drive, work had<br />
to be suspended in October, 2008 and was resumed in April,<br />
2009, following <strong>the</strong> release <strong>of</strong> a $125,00 grant by <strong>the</strong> M.J.<br />
Murdock Charitable Trust. Work will be completed in <strong>the</strong><br />
course <strong>of</strong> July. The components will be transported on two<br />
flat-bed trailers, purchased by RLK, to a designated USFS<br />
storage site near Rhododendron. The assembly at <strong>the</strong> site is<br />
scheduled for <strong>the</strong> second half <strong>of</strong> September, in time for <strong>the</strong><br />
dedication during <strong>the</strong> Annual Meeting <strong>of</strong> members <strong>of</strong> FOT, on<br />
October 3rd at <strong>Timberline</strong> Lodge.<br />
