We hoped for mission "Plausible Deniability" to be done today, but a few more hours are required tomorrow to make everything spotless.
Saturday 16th we'll start at 10:00 in the morning. If you're in the area, your help would be very much appreciated!

After seeing the Manitous moving to fresh grounds, the gators followed suit and managed to hitch a ride to new adventures and unknown territories, leaving Geestmerambacht behind in a cloud of dust. The next chapter in their journey and ours, in a world that will never be the same, after #WHY2025

After seeing the Manitous moving to fresh grounds, the gators followed suit and managed to hitch a ride to new adventures and unknown territories, leaving Geestmerambacht behind in a cloud of dust. The next chapter in their journey and ours, in a world that will never be the same, after #WHY2025
Having roamed the fields at #WHY2025, a herd of wild Manitous try to take a rest while shielding their precious offspring from the harsh reality of being forced to migrate the next feeding ground in only a matter of days. Their lowered forks ready to defend or attack at any moment

WHY2025 was awesome, clean-up is in the final stages. Now LUNCHTIME!
Here we see, in the wild, one of the awesome tear-down Angels. They are foraging after another morning of hard work on the fields of WHY2025. This species of hackers tends to leave fields cleaner than when they first arrive #angel

Last day of teardown today! With the promise of food (and perhaps another exclusive afterparty?)
If you can spare your Friday to help clean up the last loose ends at Geestmerambacht, we can achieve "Plausible Deniability". It would be like we were never been there 😀
Many hands make light work! 💪

The party is over, but the field is not yet empty
Got some spare time on Friday? Help out with the last bits of cleanup in Geestmerambacht to spread the load over as many volunteers as possible and there will be food! Continue the patat/friet-discussion on the field (yes, this might be a hint 😉)
