[Elfsea] The search for sites Part 1

Tue Apr 4 07:54:25 PDT 2006

We went to do some clean up at the new DFT site, it is a pretty nice site 
with a good sized area for a list field.  It is treed, and is close to the 
river for refreshing swimming or wading.  I was pleasantly surprised at how 
comfortable the site was.  The new owner is great and will take care of this 
site.  We should enjoy being there.

Hope to see you all at the Tor!!!
