Visit to Earthhaven

Eric and Sylvia visit Sylvia's brother Tom.

This is where Tom is staying right now, right outside Earthhaven


This mother and baby goat live at the house as well.  Tom built the structure behind them.


Tom is hoping to renovate the old school bus as a living space.The inside of the bus


We went for a walk to central Earthhaven.  There are lots of old unused roads that used to lead to homesteads in the area.  We used one of them as a path.Here's an old crossroads


Tom cleared off the path as we went
