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.<br>
<br>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. <br><br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
