Several years ago the roof to the sandhouse was replaced by the Friends and the facility was made useable. Then the RR let the dryier get too hot or something like that and managed to ruin portions of the new roof. I believe it was last year that the Friends replaced the roof for a second time and as far as I know the facility is now operational again. Meanwhile George B. was hauling playground sand in bags from Albuquerque or somewhere distant but my understanding is that it did not work very well. How the new operator will go about the sanding situation is up for grabs. Maybe Gerald can comment on this.
