With the damp weather, the Spark People and Tinder people had the hard task of getting a little flame going. Wait for it...
The Spark People and the Tinder People got the flames going, while the Kindling People were ready to jump in and feed the flames.
Spark People + Tinder People + Kindling People + Fuel People = Fire!
The 'Water People' were tasked with putting the fire to bed
Making sun prints (cyanotypes) on a cloudy day actually works!
The Inner Light Lodge was our indoor learning space
A view of the 'Endless Mountains' on Saturday morning. We were perched above the fog on our own hill.
