Storm Mountain Center

Allison Hall

Main project - team gets it's first look

We're now in our first week of our NOMADS period 13 mission at Storm Mountain Center, Rapid City, SD.  It's actually closer to Rockerville, SD, but all mailing addresses are out of Rapid City.   I you'll recall, we were at the OWL Center in Dubach, LA last year making salsa.  Storm Mountain Center wants a storage building resided to resemble the other buildings & lodges and a small garage door installed to allow easier access.

Smaller lodges & an onsite residence (right)

Unlike the OWL Center in Dubach, this center isn't in the middle of nowhere, but you'd think you were.  It's two miles up a forest service road just north of Rockerville into a small, beautiful valley just on the edge of the Black Hills National Forest.  With minimal staff, this place manages to stay open year-round.  And like the OWL Center, it's open to everyone.  That is unless you want them to remove the crosses located

Mid-week look

throughout the center. Should you do that, you'll kindly be referred to other locations.

It's been hot this week httin' 101 on Wednesday.  So the team is starting an hour earlier than normal & outside work's been limited to mornings.  It's inside work for the remainder of the day.
