		<title>August 25-29, 2010 Visit &#8211; Grapevines and cabin joists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I drove down early on Wednesday. On Thursday, I packed a lunch and trudged back to the back acres to check for missed grapevines. Unfortunately, I have more work to do in the north west corner. Chris arrived on Thursday evening. On Friday and Saturday, we put up the joists for the loft and started [...]]]></description>

		<title>July 26-28 Visit &#8211; Interior walls / Grapevine cutting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, I drove down and was able to drive up to the building site. I put the T-11 siding on the deck and covered it with a tarp. This siding will be installed on the next trip. After that, I laid out the closet and stairs wall. It seems that, in spite of our [...]]]></description>

		<title>July 8-10, 2010 Visit &#8211; Put up cabin first floor walls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, I drove down with the windows and door. Chris joined me later to pick up the building materials for the walls. In spite of much rain on Friday, we were able to put up the rest of the first floor walls. We put up a tarp over the saws and generator and where [...]]]></description>

		<title>June 11-14, 2010 Visit &#8211; Start building walls on cabin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, June 11, at about 5:00 pm, Chris and I arrived. Although the radio weather service had just announced that there was only a 20% chance of rain, rain thundered down for about 30 minutes. Not a happy beginning. After driving back to the camp site, we unloaded our food, clothes, and materials and [...]]]></description>

		<title>May 14-19 , 2010 Visit &#8211; Plant seedlings, construct first floor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I drove down on Friday. After opening the cabin, I planted 100 sycamore seedlings in the pasture. Chris and Sophia joined me later on Friday evening. On Saturday, we began to construct the cabin subfloor. We needed to make two trips to transport the materials. We finished this Sunday morning. I spent the early afternoon [...]]]></description>

		<title>May 4-7, 2010 Visit &#8211; More seedlings planted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the weekend before this visit, Sharp&#8217;s Fork overflowed and flooded much of the pasture. The water had receded by Monday, but there was a thin deposit of silt where the flooding occurred. There was no real damage. It may be that this flooding may have cleared out some of the debris in Sharp&#8217;s Fork. [...]]]></description>

		<title>April 17-20, 2010 Visit &#8211; Plant Seedlings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The goal for this visit was to plant 500 Buttonbush, 500 River Birch and 700 Red Maple seedlings in the old pasture and to open the cabin for a new season. The solar system works just fine. I haven&#8217;t even opened the cabinet for three years now. I probably should remove the mouse nests later [...]]]></description>

		<title>March 20, 2010 Visit to check plantings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On this visit, we checked the sycamore and swamp white oak seedlings we planted in 2009. The seedlings we were able to find looked good. However, it is very difficult to spot the seedlings until the leaves appear. I find that ODOT has moved down some of my line markers and seedlings. I will need [...]]]></description>

		<title>December 14-15, 2009 visit &#8211; More Grapevine cutting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Usually, by this time of year, I don&#8217;t visit because of the cold, and the woods and driveway become wet and slippery. But we have un-expectedly warm weather, so a visit was possible. The Farm Service has given me until April 1, 2010 to finish the CRP grapevine removal program. There may not be many [...]]]></description>
