This spot in Kentucky just off of 64 is fast becoming a second home for our traveling misfit toy army. A little over half way between East Wind and Twin Oaks, with extra rooms, yummy cereal and a gracious Dad, we’ve stopped here every time we’ve made this trip.
This time, it’s me and “the boys:” Pilgrim and Milo. Pilgrim is coming out early, to manage a number of early priority pieces of the project. We’ve got tons of brush to clear, water catchment systems to install, monitor windmills to throw up, and Pilgrim is going to make sure it all happens. Milo is a new member of our merry band of trouble makers. He’s a friend of community electrician and engineer extraordinaire and we’re hoping he’ll play the part of lead geek–with his experience with renewables and running transmission lines. These are boys that work hard and play hard and it’s been an experience traveling half way across the country with them in a tiny little four door saturn. You should hear the stories they tell.
We’ll land later today, hopefully getting to East Wind just in time for dinner. And when we get there, we’ll settle into life at East Wind, seeking out community members interested in supporting the project, walking the land and creating maps for our architect master planners, meeting and playing with all different sorts of misfit toys. And this is just the beginning’ we are but the first wave of VIS miscreants to hit East Wind and start raising Cain. I can’t wait!
