Money, Materials Needed for Cabin- Raising Event on Kayford Mountain

In November 2001, one of Larry Gibson's cabins on Kayford Mountain, W.Va., was burned down by vandals. Larry was home on the mountain when two strangers approached his main cabin. His presence evidently scared off the two ne'er-do-wells, but later that same evening they burned down another cabin near Larry's family cemetery on Kayford Mountain. The incident could have been tragic had Larry been asleep in his cabin.

Now Larry is planning a cabin-raising event to rebuild his gutted cabin. This event will take place shortly after Easter weekend. Donations of building supplies, tools and labor would be greatly appreciated at the cabin-raising. Right now monetary donations are most critical so Larry can have the lumber and other materials ready at the cabin-raising.
