Many things changed with the downgrading of the Mandatory Evacuation. Tassajara and Zen Center decided this morning that we would invite all of the residents to return on Tuesday, 7/22. So I have spent the day calling people with the great news of "come on home".
We are going to try to open the guest season by August 3. We aren't sure that we can do it, but we will try. Most of what must happen is cleaning up, which we are good at. There are a few fences to re-build and that compost shed to repair.
Many of the neighbors here at Jamesburg are out shopping and picking up their long awaited mail. It is good to see everyone again. We said a sad good-bye to our great benefactor, Jack Froggatt, Branch commander for this area. We hope to see him again some day in easier circumstances. Thank you, Jack.

Hi Leslie--That's great, that people can go back in and you can begin the cleanup. It would be also great if you could continue to post here daily, and just let us know what you're doing, how its going, etc. This has been so good to refer to....thanks much, Karin
Thank you Leslie for taking such good care of this blog. It has become a daily lifeline of information which I hope you will continue. It would be good to hear details of the road's condition, and how people feel, going back and seeing all the changes so dramatically shown in the great collection of photos. The events of the last month have brought the greater Sangha closer and the blogs have helped make this happen. I, for one, am addicted.
Hi Leslie-
I am wondering what the condition is of the photovoltaic panels. Did the MC cables get burnt? Please pass this along to Keith or Graham.
