      Housekeeping<\/h1><\/div>
      • <\/i><\/span>
        These facilities are user-maintained. Please leave the hut \u201cbetter than you found it\u201d.<\/div><\/li>
      • <\/i><\/span>
        Follow posted instructions for care and maintenance of facility<\/div><\/li>
      • <\/i><\/span>
        Empty all water containers and slop buckets before leaving the hut.<\/div><\/li>

      • <\/i><\/span>
        Do not do personal washing in cooking pots or in nearby streams \u2013 use wash basins and slop pits (where provided).<\/div><\/li>
      • <\/i><\/span>
        Dogs are welcome in the huts. It is preferable that they do not use the same sleeping pads as future two-legged guests. In most cabins you will find old foam pads under the beds for their comfort.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>

        On Departure<\/h1><\/div>
        • <\/i><\/span>
          Take out ALL extra food and garbage ( they encourage rodents). Others will generally not use food left at a hut as they have no idea how long it has been there.<\/div><\/li>
        • <\/i><\/span>
          Plan for the removal of food caches left for ski traverses even if you don\u2019t make it there. Most parties never make the pickup!<\/div><\/li>
        • <\/i><\/span>
          Make sure the door is securely closed upon leaving.<\/div><\/li>
        • <\/i><\/span>

          Please email CVHS of any damage to or problems with the hut, the outhouse, or any of the items supplied for guest use.<\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

          Make it a practice to leave the hut in better condition than you found it. Thank you for your consideration in following these rules. Have a wonderful time!<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"folder":[],"class_list":["post-300","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nHut
