Sadly Hana was unable to join us today as she  is in Morocco for 2 weeks!

 

 

We were preparing to present our latest iteration of designs to the community at Huerta del Valle, but Arturo called and said we need to acquire a trailer in order to transport a tractor to the community garden. A tractor is indispensable for a community garden as it makes the transportation of soil much easier as well as the tiling of the soil. Additionally, it can be used in the construction of the amphitheater or any other tire-structure. We have been attempting to secure it for over a month now, but finally there was hope in getting it. Generally, it will be used heavily we think.

 

Here are the latest designs, although we only were able to present them to Arturo:

 

We arrived to the ranch at sunset and began loading the tractor. Using a set of chains and ropes, the men were able to secure the tractor to the uhaul trailer, which was never meant to carry a tractor. By using a dummy car, we were able to rent the trailer, saying that we were going to tow another car. The ranch where the tractor was located had animals, including baby goats and horses. Supposedly the land which the ranch uses to graze the horses is unincorporated, so people use it with little restriction.

 

Also, the solar cells just arrived for an experiment to see if we could build solar panels for little cost alongside a charging system for the electricity the community needs in the next couple of weeks.
