they're here!



the stones have arrived from china, at last. USDA has shown particular interest in the crates and so...the stones are scheduled to be drayed to a testing facility today or tomorrow for further inspection. erik and nicole from yellow mountain sent these fine pictures along.

today, i met on site with jon jainga from parks and lynn and bonnie from MESA. we identified a flat, paved, secure area to store the stones in between the time they are delivered and the installation. MESA generously offered to contribute as much woodchip as needed to finish the landscaping around the stones. this is great news, as now the stones and the surrounding "forest grid" (charles anderson architects) will flow together seamlessly.



tomorrow, gavin and i will survey the site and pound in hubs for placement of the stones. it is beginning to feel like this work may, indeed, be permanently sited before i depart for india. let's hope that the customs office is expeditious and doesn't feel the need to admire the art for too terribly long...
