First overnight visitors!

A fun weekend of visiting and some "light" work...

First, a trip to Eagle's Nest look-out over the town of Bancroft after Indian food with friends Karen and Vince.

The Pioneers (aka Dash & YP)

The driveway!  What a beauty!

 The Golden Falcon rests solidly beside the build site and is prepared for solar panel power!

The future build site.  Dash and YP have worked so hard to to get their temporary shelter and working quarters set-up towards the back with a tool shed (the foundation is truly a work of art), gazebo, tent, campfire, rain barrel, and a most-comfortable compost toilet facility now complete with privacy curtain and bug-screens!

View back towards the driveway entry (shed and gazebo behind us in this view). 

Adam works on making the final solar panel DC connections.  I admire Dash's customized stand and organized, well-labelled wiring!

Great job, Dash!

The next day the completed panel is brought over to the trailer and voila, off-grid electricity established. Quick, everybody charge their phones and laptops!  The sun has come out!

Rory, Emily and Scarlett arrive to join the party.  Rory expertly takes down a tree on the build site...

...under the watchful eye of YP!

Not pictured here:  The ever-lasting camp fire tended to by Victoria.  Multiple bug bites.  The amazing, delicious campfire dinners crafted to a chef's perfection by YP.  The endless piles of tree limbs and branches that YP cleared and cleared and cleared.  The look of wonder on Baby Scarlett's face when the fire was roaring.  The excitement of a sustainable community coming together with every action.

Thanks for a great weekend!

Love,
Victoria
