That's great that you can join! I can't help with payments, but I've enjoyed my stays in the Love Shack and in the Bunkhouse/Solarium on past trips.

My friend Melissa was planning on arriving this week.  She hasn't had a phone, and I haven't heard from her on-line.  I just wanted to check if she arrived safely.  Thanks

I can confirm that Melissa is at WL; very thoughtful of you for checking in on her!

Ok, so for sure there's a handful of people coming and doing PEP!

I made this as a way to help myself think about what I'm doing, and also figure out what other folks might be doing for coordinating.

Ash's unofficial schedule that's totally non binding but hopefully a good way to think about the week:

Day	Date	Do	Details	Destination
1	Tues Mar24	Arrive, get settled	Think about what BB's you want to do, and what materials, tools, and pics are needed. We figure out what questions we have for WL. Maybe people exchange numbers for coordination?	Basecamp? Also wherever you're sleeping
2	Weds Mar25	Ash answers questions about PEP, and what I can about WL?	I hope to clean the shop for way more than an hour, and do Tool Care	Basecamp?
3	Thurs Mar26	Log peeling & wood carving?	I hope to peel another log and find green and dry wood for coat hooks. Maybe today's the right day.	Lab?
4	Fri Mar27	I put coathooks and instruction sheet in a Willow Feeder	?	Whichever one needs it most
5	Sat Mar28	?	?	?
6	Sun Mar29	?	?	?
7	Mon Mar30	Wrap up any BB's that aren't finished!	Take too many pics. I've yet to have a scenario where I was sad that I had too many pics	Wherever the unfinished BBs are
8	Tues Mar31	Travel home	Offensively early in the morning, in my case	MSO😢

So this event is happening right now. I see that Ash has put in a BB for a hand-crafted willow feeder sign.
