Welcome to Sciots Tract - Page 4
The cabin owners are very protective of the forest and have installed fire-fighting stations in the tract in case of fire. It has become a tradition to have a fire drill each 4th of July weekend. All cabin owners are shown how to operate the fire hydrants and to sound the alarms.
We have a library in the clubhouse for the use of the camp. The cabin owners donate all the books. This library is extremely active. On a nice day it is terrific to sit on a deck in a comfortable chair with a good book. A luxury we all enjoy.
The clubhouse also has a small Laundromat for the cabin owners. When you have a two-week vacation with children this is a wonderful amenity.
There are emergency oxygen bottles placed strategically around the tract. They have been used a few times and possibly have saved a life.
The tract has a strong association which meets three times a year. The association takes care of problems that arise and helps make our tract better and better. The association also sponsors the annual Northern Sierra Summer Homeowners Association meeting in our clubhouse each year.
The cabin owners keep the stream, river and the highway clear of debris in the area of our tract. The common areas of the tract are kept clear of forest debris. The debris is either burned in our fire ring or hauled to the local dump for safe disposal. In the spring we find all the dead trees in the tract and call the forest service to mark them for removal. The forest service has only to make one trip up the canyon to mark the trees instead of each cabin owner calling to request the marking.
