Subject: Big Rocks First
> The teacher placed a glass jar on the table in front of the class and

produced

so

injury,

necessary

> 2) A basic list of course design "rules of thumb", like width, turn
radius,
> clearances, startfinish practice, etc. This does not want to be a complete
> or complex narrative. There will be ample opportunity for review, and it
> will be linked to the regular design manual and sfr pages.
> 3) If available, electronic files of site maps that can be inserted into a
> work document.
> 4) A list of consumable supplies and quantities for the motorhome like
> generator fuel, gypsum, registration forms, etc.
> 5) Sources for supplies.
> 6) The master contact list. This is sensitive because to be useful to
really
> needs telephone numbers as well as email, so make sure everyone on the
list
> knows it is for inclusion in the appendix of the Guide.
>
> As soon as these last items are done, this can be released for review and
> editing. Many people have been so helpful in this.
