This weekend close to 50 people descended on the Battlemoor site at Walsenburg CO. It was amazing! One of the prettiest pieces of land I have ever seen. While the camping will truly be primitive I can't imagine anyone complaining about it. The Views!! Oh my lord it was something that I will always remember. Majestic mountains rising on the western side and a mesa vista that spreads out for a hundred miles on the east. There were moments when I was speechless.
The work was grueling, but honest. Labor having never been my forte, I still managed to put in my four hours. We cleared scrub brush, cut wood and hauled it all off to make way for wonderful camping sites. The babbling brooks and streams were a lovely accompaniment. The weather turned hot and cold all day, but never too much of either while the work was being done. The evening was a different matter. I understand it was miserably cold. I opted to come home and finish working on Bela's garb. I was thinking I would miss out and wishing I had stayed, but not after I heard how cold everyone had gotten.
The next Work Day is 5 & 6 June. I'm looking forward to it already. Now I have to get on to making all of the little things I promised for the event. Wash stations, stenciled hangings, signs, glow in the dark path markers. Lots to do.
