Wood Update.

Now that winter is here, the wood game has changed. It's hard to find someone willing to deliver into camp in the winter conditions and prices have gone up (as I knew they would).
So now it's on to Plan C.

When I was in camp, we (my boyfriend and I) helped fund a root cellar. The builder of this root cellar, knows what hard work is gets his hands dirty. I also met many of his "crew". They are also hard workers. Recently they have done a run for wood and are negotiating prices for delivery. They have fallen the trees and brought back what they could but have access to much more. I feel this to be our best option at this time.

We have raised enough for load 7 (which is no longer enough for load 7). I have sent this funding to the above mentioned crew working on wood. I know these people to be good honest people that are there to help the people and have worked so very hard for months  making sure the people were ready for winter. And now that winter is here, they are working hard to make sure noone freezes to death.

So thank you to all that have supported "load number 7". Here are some pictures from the above mentioned adventure of wood fetching and negotiating future deliveries.
