Here's a guest blog from Steven Wright aka "Rigger" my main man for help both on and off the playa. Couldn't do it without you Rigger!
"Seattle is a good place to find rusty chain and Rigger when he’s not on the Playa. Jim Dwight of Bowhead Transport connected us with Rasmussen Marine Supply. He also convinced them to let us “borrow” 200 feet of rusty loggers chain for a few months to install at the base of the tower. The chain is all twenty foot sections of 3/16 to 3/8 steel link chain, used to tie down huge diesel powered winches, windlasses, and lash massive spools of tow cable to decks of barges and tugs that ply the Salish Sea. So this week we went down to their yard to pick it up.
Here is a picture of Jim standing next to ten sections of chain after helping to load them into Rigger’s car, listing a bit to “aft’ under the extra load! All measured about 350 pounds of chain will help dress the base of the Tower once it’s assembled on the Playa. So another piece of the assembly is now ready!"
