<p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Devon,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">This is a very good question. We are encouraging individuals and the groups they camp with within ATL (pods as we call them) to be self sufficient. Because of limited volunteer availability, time and financial support we are unable to build and maintain many common structures this year such as a communal evap pond or communal kitchen space.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">This email list exists to help you connect with your fellow camp members. Please use it to reach out others in order to collaborate on projects like a shared evap pond. I know there are at least two individuals who are building their own mini-pond. If you are interested in helping them build something larger as a shared resource please let the list know and perhaps you can all work together to make something.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">The water delivery team that deals with water sales and grey water disposal had a reservation online and via Jack Rabbit Speaks announced months ago that everyone should reserve by the end of July their water/waste needs. The service is now over capacity, over booked and they have halted reservations. Demand has been so high they had to announce that they will refuse flag down service on playa by camps or individuals without an existing reservation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">There are some common resources we are planning though. You have the option of having access to electricity from the 25,000 watt generator which will be powering camp. While we are asking that you pay for use of power to help cover the rental and fuel expense it is a modest fee. Also, we will have a common area which shall be large enclosed space intended for camp members and not the public. This will be a place we can gather for meals, hide from dust storms, get warm, relax, and have meetings.</span></p>

<p>ATL, </p>

<div>I was wondering if we had come to a consensus on our grey water/shower evaporation situation? Will we have a collective camp system, or are we going to have to provide individual systems for ourselves if we so choose? <br /><br /><br /></div>
<div>I know much has changed since last year, and I just want to be clear on what to expect and what to bring. </div>
