It's on. Cohousing in Truckee

Am a wee bit tired from the all night South Lake adventure. Jurassic 5 played at Mont Bleu. It was fun, but I'd prefer a Wisdom Show or Sweatshop Union or DJ Loren. And I must add the three night binder began with 2 Out Ralley at the Pasttime and Fearless Chicken at Concert in the Park. After feeling our garage sale market had sufficiently died out, I went to Cascade Lakes Region with Paoli, Tim and Jesse. Long Lake had a tree diving board and a rope swing. This was very fun. I was scared to walk the small tree, 15 feet out, got over it. And I was scared to do the rope swing because it really looked like I would splat against the tree the rope was hung from. No worries. That was fun too. Really love the swimming. I plunge and its automatic reset. Today I was really anxious for the water. I 'm pretty sure I'm addicted. The views from Long Lake are amazing. In the South is Devil's Peak and to the North is Castle Peak. I have got to ride those mountains. Afterwards, Tim and i went to Tacos Jalisco, one of three places I can affford to occasionally eat out in town....more the reason for a bad ass organic, fairtrade, locally grown, on-site greenhouse, vegan, raw amazing afforadable eatery, called Lua's Kitchen with a solar energy producing carport. We continued a conversation we were having earlier about sustainability, Truckee's development and all the rest that needs healing in Truckee. The focus was the co-housing project, which feels like the most viable and successful idea to date on the Tahoe Sustainability Front. Charles Durrett, the father, I'll call him of co-housing, bought three acres in Truckee for a co-housing project. The members will design their living environment, community meals, shared laundry, green building, mixed-use zoned, ......This is huge. A huge victory. Thanks Charles for seeing your dreams in to fruition. I will keep abreast of this one. This may even be a great thesis project...How co-housing solves many issues like affordable housing, meanigful employment and rebuilding community.
