Snoqualmie Wildlife Area Truck Bay Construction: Wildlife Area Manager Boehm reported that the rebuilding of the truck bay for the Cherry Valley pheasant pen facility has been completed. The non-closing doors, sagging, miss-matched lumber, rotting posts, and countless “band-aid” fixes of the original truck bay required a complete rebuild. Boehm was contacted by Master Hunters Darin and Jon, a father-son team, that needed a project. After discussing timeframe, skills, and project requirements, the project was placed in their hands.
After producing a detailed design, the construction team demolished the old structure except for some original good posts. They completed the foundation, framing, wire wrap, groundwork, and door alignments over three weekends in April. After over 80 combined hours, they produced a new truck bay standing on the original footprint. This project reinforces the great work the Master Hunter volunteers provide, while supporting the goals of the Department of Fish and Wildlife. We hope this truck bay will last for many decades to come.
