I return the wheel chair to BWB. I don’t want to mess up my leg but at the same time, I really want to climb the Steam­punk Tree­House and this is my chance. 

It was amaz­ing. In fact, all of the incred­ible steam­punk themed art this year was beau­ti­ful, a haunt­ing future­past that I long for and mourn all at once.

I went to find Brad Tem­pleton and check on the offer of a lift home (turns out he lives close by) as the sun faded over a hazy sky­line, red cast shad­ows from the smoke of so many burn­ing firepits.
