 Type:	 Teach-In\nAs I’m sure many of you realize, as soon as June 27th, I 
 (Amber Whitson) am likely to be issued a stayaway order from the Albany 
 Bulb. \n\nI have spent SO MANY years exploring and studying the Bulb! The 
 thought of having to just shelve that knowledge, for it to only be brought 
 to the surface on the rare occasion that someone happens to ask me 
 something about the Landfill, just kills me. \n\nI would like to impart 
 what knowledge I have about the Bulb onto as many people as I can, while I 
 can still show the features to them myself. That way they can spread the 
 knowledge to others whom they bring here, and so on and so forth… \n\nTo 
 that end, I will be hosting three hikes, of graduating difficulty levels, 
 around the Bulb, starting this coming Saturday. \nThe two least difficult 
 tours (Saturday, June 21 and Sunday, June 22) will include trips through 
 places where people used to live: Mom-a-Bear’s, Pat’s, Gary’s, 
 Chet’s and our place (of course) and others… \n\nI think it is 
 important to educate as many people as possible (who don’t already know) 
 about the fact that pretty much ALL of the improvements that have ever been 
 made to the Landfill were indeed done by people living there. My hope is 
 that it will also help participants to understand a little bit better about 
 how people lived, day to day and season to season, when we lived there. 
 \n\nThe second level of difficulty tour (Sunday, June 22) will include a 
 trip down to what is left of the Open Letter. As well as a trip down to the 
 apricot trees (where the Neck and Plateau meet) and to the Buckeyes that 
 Andy and his friends planted. The second tour will also include a venture 
 to the remains of the Hermitage Caldarium, where Sandy lived when Phyl and 
 I first came to the Bulb (at Sandy’s suggestion). The Caldarium sat on 
 the far western edge of the Bulb had a fully functional, handmade hot tub, 
 fashioned from pieces of the debris that the Landfill is made of. \n\nWhen 
 the Caldarium was burned to the ground, in late 2007, by a recently 
 released psych-ward patient, Andy Kreamer gave Sandy his home, where Sandy 
 lived until the recent eviction. The second tour will also include a trip 
 down to Andy’s/Sandy’s old place on the eastern edge of the Landfill. 
 \n\nBoth the first and second tours will start at 10:00am on Saturday and 
 Sunday, respectively. \nWe will meet near the Cove (aka “keyhole”, 
 “firepit” etc.) near Albany Beach. \n\nThe most difficult hike 
 (tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, June 24) will include a voyage down the 
 very steep hillside on the north side of the Neck, to where the headstone 
 of William E. Carter (born 1842/died 1889) was dumped and still lays on its 
 back at the water’s edge. \n\nIt is very important to me that I have the 
 opportunity to host these tours for people, so that other people can find 
 the amazing things that are everywhere out there, for years to come, 
 regardless of whether any of the indigenous Bulb-dwellers are allowed to 
 come here, or not. \n
