Thanks to everyone for being so fantastic today! It went perfectly and the
mayor, Bill Weber, dropped by and was really impressed by everyone’s
professionalism. As a result he is comfortable with allowing us access
again tomorrow. The gate may not be open though so access may require
climbing the gate. We have been asked to have the last person out shut the
gate each day but not lock it. First people in tomorrow will then be able
to open it again. But he cannot guarantee that someone will not lock it.
For tomorrow, again, please park on the lagoon side of the highway. OFO
representatives will be there for part of the day at least and will try to
muster help from those around who belong to OFO to help if they need a
break. Please stay on the path between the two lagoons.

If anyone has photos of the group from today, I would love to have copies
to share with the Mayor please. You can text or email them.

Have fun if you go!
