Colestine Campout

Greetings Friends,
After toying with the idea of creating Facebook and MySpace pages, I've decided that perhaps a BLOG is the best way for us to communicate about the camp out as a group. If I understand the technology correctly, anyone can log in and post a comment to this blog; you don't have to join a social network and receive dozens of "pokes" or whatever the hell they're called, in your in box.

I could be wrong; it wouldn't be the first time.

I’m using this venue to initiate a discussion about our little piece of heaven at the confluence of Cottonwood and Mill Creek. I feel strongly that one cannot “own” 147 acres of forest (the tax man disagrees.) Jimmy, Konnie, Sequoia and I are caretakers, as is anyone who loves the land. The more people who visit, the more people who fall in love with the land; the more people who fall in love, the more people who have a stake in keeping the land healthy and protected. That has to be a good thing?

So, my first question is, what can we do to expand our community and create more caretakers for the land?
