Åsen, Sweden

Only Timo, Elge, Sören and Mikko are left in Åsen now.

At 10:00 we had a meeting with the Älvdalen commune. It went really well, we got all of the issues solved. At the same time Mikko arranged copies of gate keys, got the special saw on loan from Besparingsskogen. Timo sent some more pictures and did office work at turist bureau.

The whitepaper [Dragonbane presentation material. Editor's note] was updated by Timo, while Elge and Sören met with Besparingskogen. That meeting went also very well. We will get three truck loads of gravel on week 38 delivered to Cinderhill.

In Cinderhill we noticed that last nights storm had been powerful indeed, some of the tool shelters and such were tilted/fallen/broken. It took some while to get the camp back in order.

During afternoon Mikko made paths and Elge cleaned the kitchen and wrote texts while Timo and Sören built supports structures for longhouse #1. The first pieces of roof structures were also laid out to longhouse #1.

At 20:45 Timo, Tomas (who had joined us around 18:00 to help Timo & Sören) and Sören went back to Åsen. We had several hours of paperwork, a bit of food (good salmon and potatoes) and then sauna. Again a long, but very successful day. Luckily the weather has been nice, but for some very weird reason there're more mosquitos now than before ...
