size=3>Yes, many thanks to Saint David. His house is now warmed by
the Blue Moon. The burning of the village of</FONT> <FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>Ames Dunum has purged it's malevolent spirits
which were seen vaporizing in flames or scurrying up and
down Four Notch Road in fear, panic and confusion. The
village now sleeps, waiting to once again be awakened by the call of the good
people of Raven's Fort. The daily rains we have received kept the fire
danger down near zero, but the sky cleared off in time for a peaceful view of
the full moon over misty fields. The strumming of acoustic guitars and the
beating of drums completed a wonderful evening of camaraderie and good will. I
saw faces that have been MIA for quite sometime. The Barony is definitely
growing stronger. Again, many thanks to Saint David for such a beautiful
and welcoming place to gather. </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>I do not believe that there will be
any shortage of volunteers for Defender of the Fort. The people that
I've talked to are ready, willing and able. Saint David of the Tractor and
I are planning to use his uncle's brush-hog to do on site mowing as
well. With three tractors going it should make short work of
it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>The stone circle is in very bad
disrepair. Almost all of the capstones are on the ground, while the
upright stones bulge out at odd, misshaped angles. I believe that one of
the trilithons stones has actually broken in two and I've been told that one of
the lay-line stones is missing altogether. A sad testament to the site
that was once at the heart of activities in this Barony. Perhaps the one
workday we are allowed for this event will be enough to make The Stones
presentable for our guest.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>With two and a half months to go
before the event there is much off site work to do as well. But that
is a good thing. It means that we will be able to share more good times as
we make site tokens, do a road cleanup and a list of other pre-event must
dos. We are all behind you Alaric. Lead on brother.</FONT></DIV>

Work</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for all that attended the Blue Moon. There was plenty of
food and fun to go around.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you DSD for hosting. Your hospitality was greatly
appreciated.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is alot of work to be done on the site, but nothing that seems out
of the ordinary. Kief's offer of mowing is appreciated, as always.
We have another brush-hog ready to help as well, as Pache' offered his
aid. There are the typical ants and wasps to combat. Limbs to be
gathered (before the mowing would be most useful). A few of the larger
boughs might need cutting first. We mentioned cleaning up the clutter
around the kitchen, as well as a fresh coat of paint there and on the storage
unit. We will discuss days / times at the July populace.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tareija wants to spearhead a crew to clean up the
litter from the train tracks to the troll booth (or gate if we do it on a day
we can't get on site). Having a scenic road to ride in on helps set
the mood for many of us.</FONT></DIV>
