good to know...

interested in coming out to help, although april i don't think i'll be around..
but this is definitely an ongoing project..
 
how about squatters who may already be there?..... you'd probably want to know if anyone is already set up and get an idea of what kind of folks they are.....
 
That's a good point. I was thinking about cops and river patrol. There is a road right there and a yard so people would know we were there. Anyone live near that area? I could use an address to send equipment to. What kinda crops are you guys thinking about? I have a few seeds laying around.. Haha. And zephyr, I really couldn't tell you where I'll be in the summer. I let you know if I am still around.
 
sweet..getting my van tomorrow.soo well probably show up..ive got a few ideas for supplies..what about a generator?and i can definitely get my hands on some tools!
 
I started making a luggage rack for my motorcycle to carry the tools I want to bring. That fucker is going on a raft to that island.

I'm speculating here but due to the fact the river surrounds the island the soil should be fine due to the amount of silt deposited. The island itself is probably made mostly of silt.
 
I don't know about you, but I was thinking tree houses in case of a flood.......and it's a tree house.
 
Do you need anyone out there now, cuz im thinkin bout leavin texas and hitching out there if you wanted to set up early.
 
me and my friend would really like to be apart of this she is originally from grand junction but were both located in california now. i dont have any expirence building a structure but still would like to help with whatever i could and learn the rest. im uber excited at the thought of the whole thing
 
I'd like to get on this project, but I'm a little slow to fully commit. The last project I was working on ended horribly. It was mainly Ego, and mixed views that caused the entire community to collapse on itself. I would like to avoid as much drama as humanly possible. On a second note, I don't have many resources to bring other than myself and a strong work ethic. I like to see things through and always stay for the long haul. I have experience with raising Goats and Chickens, as well as sprouting(alfalfa, mung beans, clover, etc) and have always been self-sufficient. This project seems like it could be grand, as long as the foundation is set right. I will check in from time to time as often as possible.
 
im planning my trip out there sometime near the end of the month. where at on the island are we going to meet on the 1st?
