But it sure does go slower. Two days ago we got about 8+ inches of snow here in Tecumseh, MO which has thrown me into a childish tailspin. The morning I woke to see snow falling I hurried into warm clothes and rushed to RB–which is the main dining hall community building here. I found a couple of likewise delighted friends and we made french toast and played with thousand piece puzzles and drank coffee. It was kind of wonderful.
The snow has made getting out onto the festival grounds a bit difficult, so Pilgrim and I have switched gears a little. We’ve been plotting how to manage the influx of volunteers coming west at the end of February, shifting around priorities so we can house and feed a small crew out on the land much sooner than anticipated. It will be great to have extra hands early, because as amazing as Pilgrim is, he can’t do it all by himself. We’ve got clearing and building and planning to do all at once and in just four months. The sooner we can get started, the better!
And Matthew, a member here at EW, and Pilgrim have been doing the foundational work on the map our expert architects need for their master planning. As soon as the snow and ice melt away a little and we can get back to the site safely, they’ll be walking the land and filling in the details requested by the architects.
Things are coming together even when the weather is delightfully distracting!
