 A New Tipi for The Lion's Den — Help Us Raise It
</div>
<div>
 Dear Friends, Hikers, and Fellow Trail Angels,
</div>
<div>
 If you've ever passed through The Lion's Den, you probably remember the tipi — a cozy spot where tired hikers dropped their packs and rested up. But after years of weather and this winter's flooding at The Lion's Den, <strong>our tipi has reached its end.</strong>

 Fellow trail angels who also work with tipis have started this GoFundMe to help us raise a proper new one. We've found the perfect replacement — <strong>a 16-foot-diameter tipi from Nomadics Tipi Makers in Bend, Oregon, for $1,500.</strong>

 To everyone who's ever been part of The Lion's Den: thank you. You're the reason this place exists, and the reason a new tipi is even possible.

 FYI: The PCTipi fundraiser is an endeavor to create shelter from the storm along the Pacific Crest Trail. By implementing a series of structures, huts, and tipis at both the north and south terminus, and to create a set of tipis to be used by through hikers in any given year. The Section A corridor has a tipi based at the PCT Angels Rest near Alpine, CA, and the soon to be final tipi at the Lions Den near Mazama. They’ve had a tipi there for 14 years; however, it needs to be replaced due to the tremendous damage it sustained in a late winter storm, which diverted an overflow of the river down through their encampment. We are starting this GoFundMe in order to help kickstart the effort to have a quality tipi at the Lion’s Den for all hikers to enjoy.
