Hi Shane,
It's great to have you as a member. Pantilocpom looks great. You
and your associates have done an excellent job.
I've heard many rumors about more papercrete structures in your area,
but I've had a hard time finding any details. Please feel free to
share any details you know about any structure. I can't wait to see
what you're doing with your "temple". It sounds amazing.
It looks like it's time to update the map in the Diagrams album in
our photos section. Right now that one pushpin in California
(Pantilocpom) looks lonely. hehehe I'm sure there's more out there
that aren't shown.
