Tentative Plan

I suggest that we plan to arrive Sept 15 (that gives CSU 2 days to drive out, leaving Monday morning Sept 14) and spend a few days setting up. We will probably begin with a few stack burns to collect standard data for fuels we haven't done before (maybe repeat some other fuels) and getting the dilution system set up and tested. Then we can begin our chamber-burn dilution studies either that weekend or at the start of the following week.

That would give us 3 solid weeks for the studies (weeks of Sept 20, 27, Oct 4), which should be more than enough, and still be done before 15 October. In fact if it goes well we can probably pack up the weekend of Oct 3/4.

That plan might also allow us to stagger arrivals so some of you would not have to arrive to set up until a few days after the 15. You all know space is at a premium at the facility and some staggering may help us be less disruptive to the ongoing FSL operations.

Lodging Info

Email from Clare Delaney to Sonia K on 19-June-09.

Smoke Jumper Dorms: The daily rate for the dorm rooms is $8.15 per day. If the stay lasts longer than 5 days it qualifies for a lower rate of $3.95 per day. The dorm fees can be made at the end of the stay and credit cards are the accepted form of payment. These are typical dorm rooms with twin beds and closets. We have 2,4, or 6 person rooms available with women on the first floor and men on the second. The showers and toilets are down the hall on each floor. A free washer and dryer are available to do laundry. Each tenant has access to the kitchen, which has several microwaves, stoves, & refrigerators. It's a good idea to be prepared to mark your food stuffs both dry and refrigerated. We have a limited number of utensils that most folks share. An added bonus is the workout facilities which include machines along with "free" weights. All in all it is a good option for your stay. Again when you firm up on who's coming, how long they plan to stay, and the exact dates of arrival letting me know would be great.
