[Ravensfort] Swein site work

[SF Tester]

Saturday Alaric and Marius went out to the Swein site to do a little work. I
was tied up in Houston with mundane job crap, so I didn't get out there
until after they had left, but the impression I got from Alaric was that
they just got a little stuff done. This was the wrong impression. Once I got
to the site, long after dark, we drove out to the general camping area
(well, it was a good excuse to use 4WD ;) ) to take a look. Wow. It looks
like a different site. Just by headlights and Q-beam the difference was
amazing. I can't wait to see it in the daylight. Thank you so much for
coming out.

The mosquitos out there are about the size of turkey buzzards, so we're
trying to figure out a good way to set up a spray tank to hose the place
down with skeeter remover.

I've discussed it with Mike and we think the best way to handle permenant
campsites will be a bid system. Basically tell us how many people you need
to house, how often you'll use it, what you want to do to it, and when you
can get it done. Semi-permenant structures are a possibility, as well as
permenant fire pits, etc.

It's an involved story I can't really get into (and is boring anyway), but I
may very well have access to some time on a CNC plasma cutter in the near
future. If so, I'm going to get some ravens, boars, etc. cut out of 12 ga.
steel, weld them to some brackets, and make some lantern hooks we can throw
on trees with a chain (it's an easy project, just a bit tough to describe).
It's still in the possible list, but if it works out I'll need a good pic of
the raven. More on that later.

This weekend we have access to a much, much bigger tractor with a claw and
box blade, as well as Mike's smaller tractor and brushhog, so if anyone can
make it out it would be a good time. Email or call me if you want to come
play and I'll give directions if you need 'em.
