cc @cool-pizza-44770 @bland-answer-10540 @white-airline-67948 @plain-oyster-49503 @able-vr-31152 Update on Saratoga Springs brush clearing project (FWIW these conditions sound kind of gross and miserable to me, and I would be way more interested in trying to do something next weekend):
Sorry for the late reply. Our brush clearing came to a halt due to inclement weather.
Over the last two days, hundreds of branches and at least 25 trees fell on Saratoga Springs property. We are in the process of clearing branches and brush to allow for the reservations we have in the coming weeks to happen.
Would you or any friends be available to come this weekend on last minute to help clear the debris? Again, we offer food and lodging. We are starting on Friday and working through Saturday and a bit on Sunday with anyone who is still available.
What do you think? I’m going over today- yesterday the road was closed- to assess and make priority lists. Thank you and please put out the call to anyone you think may be willing and available. Also, please warn them to bring rain wear and warm clothing. It may be drizzly and it will certainly be cold.

I'm excited to go whenever the group decides. I'm always up for a trip to the country side and love having a job to do outdoors. Next weekend marks 1/2 way through my bootcamp, end of phase 1, and I'm going to be taking a few week "break" (working on other project). So that timing would be good fer meh.

P.S. I ain't scared of the wet. I got the right gear.

I would be SUPER interested in going during the time of 2/13-2/20, I have time off from work (still need internet for my Bootcamp class). If that’s a feasible time for anyone else, or the venue?
Follow up q’s: do you think Saratoga would allow me to bring Nanuk if I’m there to do work for them? Or hard no? If no, I can’t go cuz I don’t want to pay to board him.

@some-leather-19534 depending on a variety of factors (most readily, Patrick’s allergies) we may be willing to dog-sit. We are thinking about getting a dog and are trying to find friends’ dogs to take care of to determine if we like it. 🙂

Thank you for the very kind offer. ❤️ I’ll let you know if I wind up needing a sitter. In general, I like being able to have Nanuk with me because he’s old and our time together is limited. But I really appreciate your offer and will reach out if I’m in need of a sitter.

Are you also by chance considering getting a small child and would like to watch one for a weekend?

Also, smart to barrow other people’s dogs to see how much you love it before you commit to your own - having a dog is a major commitment and responsibility, and it’s also a lot of fun. Let me know if you ever want to talk-dog, I have oodles of tips and am always happy to share the things that I’ve learned/realized since first getting Nanuk 13 years ago.

@square-country-13088 totally
appreciate it!

Update: this weekend is off the table, but next weekend (Feb 6/7) is open, so I said “yes”. I think CloudCastle podmembers @cool-pizza-44770 @able-vr-31152 and @plain-oyster-49503 are in, but are any of the rest of you interested? Weather is expected to be sunny and they will have accommodation for multiple pods if we tell them.

Fabulous friends: Please let me know if you are in for next weekend and if you need separate accommodation from the Cloud Castle cabin!#SaratogaSprings 🏠🛀🌳🍂🌲🍁🌼🚫🐕
Hello Renee,
I am so happy you will be joining us!
The size of the group depends on who is a "household" and who is not and needs a separate sleeping area.
We try to keep our work group under 9 volunteers so we can guarantee separate bathroom facilities as well as sleeping accommodations without having the volunteers have to use wood tents that don't have bathrooms in them but have facilities separate from where they sleep. Of course if a household has 2 or more people we can have more come because many of our cabins sleep up to 10 people but have only one private bathroom for the cabin.
So with that in mind, how many sleeping spaces do you need? Meaning how many individual pods and how many total people?
I hope this isn't as clear as mud...lol.
Also, we have a dog cabin but one of the volunteers has already taken it. Emoji Normally, we have one cabin that can accommodate up to 2 dogs with total weights of 60lbs.
I hope this helps.
Thank you again and let me know as soon as you can!
