It was a charged up day at the Ecovillage as a crew of 6 arrived with several 10 foot 2 x 6's in hand ready to prepare the road for Troopy to drive the materials up to the Hawk house where they would be used to build the deck.
2 x 6's on the boat making their one way trip to the Ecovillage!
Here is the crew, ready to action.
Keith continues the road maintenance so that Troopy ca make it up to the Ecovillage carrying the wood and supplies needed for the day.
Ditch = Drainage!
A crew spend 45 minutes preparing the road for Troopy. Troopy, as seen here, warming up to tackle the steep part of the road.
Oh, the road is passable and on the way Troopy's back door opened!
Good work crew!
Troopy made it!
The land is as beautiful as ever.
At the Hawk House Keith gives Troopy his gentle mechanics touch working on the idle vacuum hose.

The Water Temple well, being showered with sun today.
Most of the tadpole eggs have hatched and the water is bustling with tadpole action. The leaf, seen here, has approx. 2 centimeters of water on top of it and there are several tadpole making this leaf their home.
Tadpoles!
More tadpoles!
Frog! Beautiful frog, bright green with black markings, the tadpole team saw three frogs during their survey, one with red strips.
Back at the Hawk house much work was being done. The floor bracing was near completion.
Robinson and Dixon enjoying the satisfaction building can offer.
Cloe continued working on stripping this beautiful log, harvested from the storm for one of the posts on the deck extension.
The bark on this log was so thick an axe was needed to strip off the bark and the draw knife was used to clean it up.
Krista proud of her longest strip of wood of the day. Nice catch Morrison.
Krista and Cloe happy to have accomplished stripping the log.
Time to go!
Scott happy to be back behind Troopy's wheel.
It was a great day at the Ecovillage. All the projects worked on really took a big step forward.
Eric and Scott, happy.
Julia ready for a snooze on the boat.
Cloe teaches Krista how to play a game called 'Chopsticks'.
Thank you Ecovillage for being so awesome.
The Ecovillage crew sees a boat for sale at the marina at the end of the day. It gets them all dreaming for the day they will have a boat to call their own.
