Apologies to one and all for the very late boarding!
This will likely be one of the smallest boardings since the early days of the Ark…5 years ago.
It has been chaotic at Modulator Manor over the past week. We have packed up 20 years of belongings and moved out. Saturday we unload at the new, not quite finished and absolutely awesome Modulator Manor.
I had hoped to get boarding started this morning but was precluded by fatal connectivity problems at the hotel we were overnighting at.
We have just a bit of time tonight, a little after 11 on the west coast and probably just a little time Saturday and Sunday for boardings.

We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?

Visit all the boarders, Link to the Ark and check back for updates through Sunday afternoon!
