I am new to this site and was referred here from the Sustainable Energy Institute in CO. Several years ago I took a class at SEI on Natural building. Now I have a project to complete in Saratoga, WY on an earth bag wall. The bags are done so now it just needs plaster put on it this summer. Is anyone in the area or interested in traveling to WY in July to complete this project? If you can bring a few people and make it a camping trip, there is plenty of outside space and the place is right by the No. Platte river. There is a fire pit or wood cook stove for cooking. A mineral hot springs is about a mile a way. Open 24-7 for free. Let me know if you are interested.
