Hi All….

Well currently we have stopped working on the house and are building our ARK…. We have been experiencing rains since last Wednesday the 26th of May. I am going to attempt to catch you up here and try my hardest to do a daily digest… It is rather hard – I am working out of the truck and using the truck batteries which I drained pretty good on Thursday so every hour when I start the truck to keep the batteries fresh I have to reset all my hardware and wait 15 minutes until everything resets itself…. 🙂 Fun Fun…. I'd so love to just leave the electronics in a box to enjoy the full process here. 🙂 But hi ho hi ho – off to work I go…. 🙂

6.2.10 – Rain Rain I know we need you, but come back another day… 🙂 Thru the rain – I was productive today working.

Austin spent the day in the warm tent reading with Buddy and

Glen and Rambler were building the shower… We got the 2 x 4's yesterday while in town – just need to get the shower stall and the steel out of the storage unit and we will be in business…

6.1.10 – Yesterday we went to town and brought back two loads of large stone to assist in getting into the place…. The loads of rain have made for a rather interesting muddy mess….. Will post picture later….

5.31.10 – Off exploring we went today….  We were on the trail of elk and deer…  At one point you could actually smell the elk, but we never caught site of the elk…  Bummer…  Austin was going nuts…  Beautiful hike though – the blue skies here are so much more blue and I have been finding heart shaped rocks EVERYWHERE!  Yes Mom – I am starting a new collection… 🙂

5.28.10 – Finishing up today on the outhouse….  Glen and Austin also continue to cut firewood…  We wake – eat breakfast and then are on our feet until it is time to go to bed.  It is invigorating and refreshing to be in the outdoors like this.  We also finally got the U-Haul completely unloaded and returned.  Our storage unit is 10 x 32 and we have it filled…

5.27.10 – Austin and Glen continued working on the outhouse and Austin spent the day with the ax…

5.26.10 – Austin and Glen cut fire wood and then started working on the outhouse.   The outhouse was being constructed from the plywood and 2 x's that were used on the trailer.  Glen was cutting all the wood with very precise cuts using the chainsaw   🙂 !!  He is amazing…

5.25.10 – Glen set me up with a kitchen with style – I now have a rain awning to allow me to stay dry while cooking.  We also had a beautiful full moon…  It is so absolutely awesome here.  We here the coyote every night when we go to bed and see fresh deer and elk tracks in the yard in the morning.

5.24.10 – We finished the wall tent today so we will have our first night in the tent with the wood stove…  Yeah…  And how warm it was…  Glen also set up the mess tent and we moved everything in.  We then unloaded the trailer and removed the top that he had built on for our travels.  We headed over the the storage unit to get more unloaded out of the U-Haul.  This needed to be a progressive event with trying to get camp setup too.
