Silver On the Sage

Pete Bergene


Listen Later

For Pete Bergene, working on the Philmont Cabin Restoration team benefited him in such a way that he could not come up with aspects of his current professional life that weren’t directly traced back to it. In this episode, Pete shares a brief history of cabin restoration  and how it’s been managed by many different departments at the ranch. He shares a rich and descriptive overview of three large projects he was a part of, including - Cypher’s Mine stomp cabin, Valle Vidal Clayton Cabin, and the Fish Camp caretakers quarters. He also walks us through the basic cabin restoration process. Pete credits camp directors, outside contractors, and National Forest archeologists as being part of the bigger picture of the cabin restoration team experience. Lastly, Pete was asked to write the proposal for, and hold the role of the first ever, full-time cabin restoration position at the ranch.
