How interesting. That must be for the LeConte Station. I thought they were flying that stuff in. I saw them flying in the materials for one of the cabins from Cedar Grove earlier this summer, and remembered George mentioning that they were going to replace 3 cabins this summer. As I recall the scoping, the helos saved hundreds of pack trips per cabin. This one you saw must have been a "clean" up train of incidentals to finish up the cabin or something. Details, details.
You're right Ken, they did say LeConte. We passed them just north of Long Lake, I think. How much farther would they have to go? I'm just guessing here, but I'd imagine they try to make use of as much stone and such that is local to the spot they are building - at least for the foundation, etc. I'd love to be involved with something like that, did some stone work down in Mexico when I lived there for a bit.
