Camp's New Yurt Is Done!

The yurt, she is done.

Our crew (Bill, Anna, and Cheryl), volunteers, and yurt expert Bob Champa and his crew put this baby together. Bill calls it yurt-tastic. Anna, who made a yurt model when studying Mongolia in grade school, says they are known there as "gers." After which, Bill added that our yurt is gurrrrrrreat.

	Camp guests christened the yurt with its first potluck in July.
	Close to done: the wall vinyl is being attached.
	Rafters and roof vinyl are in place.
	The roof vinyl is in a long tube shape. It is pushed up through the center ring, slides down the outside, covers half of the roof, and then is spread out to cover the second half.
	Rafters are being attached to the ring at the top and the lattice below.
	Floor and wall lattice are done.
	Floor is going on top of cement footings and wood stringers.
	Bob and his crew drill holes, set the tubes and shovel the concrete in for the yurt footings.
	Jim and his sidekick Keith building the Power Shack that will hold the solar panels and batteries.
