Good evening! I'm glad to hear you find the photos beautiful and reminiscent, Catherine! I won't be in Minnesota next week, but I will be close. I'm going to be in Michigan in about a week, give or take a day or two. Hello, E! For more information, please check out the
Permaculture Bootcamp wiki page to learn more; there are other threads regarding more options in the
Summary of All Things Wheaton Labs thread and the
visiting Wheaton Labs thread.
Day 120
Jen and I started the morning gathering junkpoles, and
Josiah, Austin, and Ron worked on the
Bermshed.
I liked the views of the mountains from the forest were working in!
I particularly like how deep, bright, and crystal clear the blues in the sky look in the Winter up here!
This was the first load of junkpoles that I picked up, walked over to firetruck Judy, and loaded on top.
These are some pictures of my work hauling logs off the mountain from a staging area I had placed them in earlier. I still have a couple more spots in the forest where I staged junkpoles that I need to take off the mountain.
This is that load of junkpoles finally at the road. I then picked up and hauled as many of these onto Judy as I could before the first half of the day finished.
During the second half of the day, Jen and I unloaded Judy and junkpoles by the
fence we're building at Basecamp.
After unloading Judy, Jen and I worked on putting the roof poles in place for another cell of the Bermshed. Josiah, Austin, and Ron worked on rebuilding the retaining wall.
This is that same cell after we mostly finished putting the roof poles on.
These are some of the lovely logs that Josiah, Austin, and Ron put into place.
EDIT: The burned areas are not on
Wheaton Labs; they are close to the Lab, at a place where we have been kindly granted permission by the owner to perform certain activities on their site.
