We will strive to use the electricity we generate efficiently:

A battery rotation charging system will utilize our Purgatory
mutant vehicle secondary electrical system ("rolling hybrid")
to charge 1 of 2 heavy-duty marine batteries.

20. Generators:

We are running one gasoline-powered generator in a plywood
acoustic damper box as a back-up to the marine battery system.


21. Physical Description:

Participants will first notice the main 13'x24' geodesic dome
structure: clad
in white heat-reflective material, it will be lit with LED running
lights
at night. An open, inviting public area for entertaining and
workshops.

A medium 8'x16' geodesic dome will serve as a chill space, and be
placed next
to the big dome.

A small three-person tent/geodesic dome will serve as the "Apollo
capsule" for
meditation and threeway Thursdays, and will be placed next to the
medium-sized
chill dome.

The Old Country Vodka Snorting Bar is a folding portable bar, and is
shaded by a
hexagonal observation platform and "game show" set flats, all secured
with ground
plates which are in turn held fast by "T-bar" rebar stakes.

A 30 foot radio tower will rise from the centre of Fort Kanuckistan.
The tower will be secured by many straps attached to multiple rebarred
steel
groundplates. A high-efficiency neon light at the top will serve as a
night-time participant navigation orientation beacon.

Vehicles will be parked windward (southward) and westward to help
provide a
wind break.

Moop containers (trashcans with bag liners and heavy lids) will be
placed
inside the communal lounge ( a car port shade structure).

The fuel dump will be at one corner of the camp, within easy (but
safe) fuel
can lugging distance of the generator and mutant vehicle dock.
