National Forest Homeowners - MLIA Tract Membership

Thank you to all who have supported the National Forest Homeowners (NFH) in the past. The Mt. Laguna Tract of cabin homeowners receives a discount for joining NFH as an entire tract.  NFH is working hard to assure that lease rates will be fair and stable for cabin homeowners.  Continued support of the organization is very important.  Some cabin owners have been opting out which erodes the power of the tract and NFH.  After a unanimous vote at the MLIA annual meeting on September 18th, all cabin owners will be members of NFH.  The membership dues will become part of the water bill.

Visitor Center Remodel

Many of you recently stopped by to see our beautiful Visitor Center at Mount Laguna designed by Tammie Mathers, Civil Engineer with the Cleveland National Forest.

There are many questions and a big interest in what products were used in the re-design. Isn't that vinyl "wood" floor absolutely amazing?    What about those wonderful stone walls?    And, the stamped concrete porch.....how cool is that?

So, by popular demand, Anne Carey from the Forest Service has supplied the following list for interested cabin owners.
