During the day, we split into two groups to allow one group to focus on getting the 48 holes dug (6 feet deep!) while the other team worked on sorting and measuring the power poles. After the poles were measured we began to cut them length: 18 feet long for the two support poles and 26 feet long for the single spar (for more information about spars see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spar_%28tree%29). We're still short a few poles, so have been able to secure a few more which will be delivered tomorrow.
Throughout the day we ran into a few technical difficulties with dull chainsaws, broken generators, broken starter, shortage of hydraulic fuel for the backhoe and missing tent poles (for the tent we're putting up for a little shade on the site).
On a more positive note, the day was also filled with a few fun activities: we ate lunch with the Kinistin Lands Committee at the Hidden Meadows Golf Course and spent the evening at the Beardy's pow wow! A few people could help themselves from sketching the arbour.
PHOTOS WILL BE POSTED SOON.
