The first thing we visited in Murray was a gas station. The second, Bad Ass Coffee Co. Then we went by and saw the 'slab' and un-hitched the trailer from the truck. The slab looked pretty good but needed to be cleaned so that our layout tape would stick. Dusty surfaces keep the tape from sticking.



The hospital construction project is being done by Okland Construction Company.

The Wasatch Mountains to the East are a spectacular backdrop while we work on this labyrinth. This image shows Joel Miller and Pamela Fillmore (remember her from Chattanooga and the Bright School?) working on our initial layout. Note the very slight crown to this concrete pad. The subtle rise in the center shows great skill on the part of the concrete workers. This is likely the most symmetric pad on which we've worked. Thanks for your skill in shaping the concrete guys!

  

This will be a full sized pure Chartres pattern, just over 42 feet in diameter. It will be 'pure' because it is as close as we can get to the Chartres Labyrinth pattern inlaid into the floor of Chartres Cathedral in 1201 AD. Look for the six petal rose at the center of the labyrinth in a few pages. It won't really be visible until we color it. We are hoping that we'll be able to finish by May 3rd. (Ahead of schedule!)

Joel Miller pressure washed the slab. He invested his earlier career in banking. Interesting to see someone work in construction after devoting so much of their life to a desk job. He doesn't have to do this. He does it for the love of labyrinths. All our crew does.

It was spitting rain and threatening to do more than that, so we went shopping at Wild Oats and called it a day.
