Hi,

I finally have "The Elders" theme camp application, plot plan and cleanup
plan finished and submitted. Whew.

For those interested I put links to the budget, plot plan, front view,
cleanup plan, design stuff, and the theme camp application on the website.

Over the past year, I've talked with a number of people, had some email
comments, and of course have thought a lot about this years camp myself.
Understanding that there will be lots of tweaking, here's the summary of
the the way I see the 2009 camp evolving.

Design Considerations

*A nice flow thru the camp by two diagonals. One the emergency egress road which will be the camp promenade, and the other a opposite diagonal placement of vehicles and tents.

*The perimeter is pretty much ringed with vehicles.

*An emergency egress road. After setting up leaving early would not be easy, but would be possible.

*The community structure is ringed by anchor vehicles. This will provide support and wind blockage as well as allowing 12 volt power for the lights.

*Dan has made LED lights for the interior. Nice.
