Introducing Pleasant Hill Outdoor Center's newest cabin:

Hemlock

Gotta say, I'm just as surprised as you! Visited the camp today to get a better feel of the area hiking trails (very successful, btw. We found the trail head--awesome hike coming up in what, less than five days now?! o.O ) --and discovered Hemlock. I had no idea a new cabin was built over the year.

As you can see, Hemlock is very beautiful, clean, cozy--all the good attributes of Pleasant Hill's cabins. 

Ladies, we just got ourselves a new home! B)



The camp has been spruced up quite a bit (not like it needed it, but you know.) Even the amphitheater benches were painted! Snazzy, huh?



View of our beloved Hickory cabin. Love that place. . .feels like a second home. Or a really good friend I see only once a year.



And last but not least, an updated-shot of the Genesis Lodge.

Sooooo. . .what do you think? I'd love to hear your feedback on the OSR's newest addition! Let's give Miss Hemlock a warm welcome.
