Where the front curtains overlap, they either snap or magnet. Originally, for the tops, I was going to snap the curtains to the ceiling, but my buddy Owen urged me to do otherwise. He had converted a full-sized school bus up on Orcas Island when I was living there a few summers ago. He had ordered a flexible plastic track for the curved ceiling of his bus, and suggested I do the same. I was so torn, because I hate buying new plastic. After looking at the track and its specs online, I decided to purchase it. And boy, am I happy with it! I was able to order little plastic pieces that fit in the track that have a female snap on them. This allowed me to make curtains that could snap and unsnap from the curtain track for washing them. I also liked this because the center curtain was designed to mostly be attached to one of the side curtains, but when I want, I can detach it and re-attach it over the inside of the<\/i><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2243\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5411.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2243\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2243\" alt=\"Handicap door curtains.\" src=\"http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5411-300x199.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5411-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5411-1024x682.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5411.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2243\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Handicap door curtains.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><i>windshield.

The male snaps come mounted to a length of webbing that you\u2019re supposed to sew into the top of your curtains. It\u2019s a great design, other than the breaking snaps.

Silva Acres is an amazing disc golf course on private land, built mostly by the hands of a fellow named Truk. Several years ago Truk had experienced a dark part of his life, which ultimately led to an accidental over-dose on pharmaceutical drugs. This left him in both physically and mentally rough shape. He doesn\u2019t remember a month of his life. Slowly he began to come back to reality, but with a lot of anger. Instead of letting this fire cause destruction, he channeled it. His method was to go into the forest behind his folks\u2019 house and just start clearing. He cleared branches and brush, but didn\u2019t quite know why at first. Then he knew. He was building a disc golf course. Over the next couple years, and with the help of friends and family, he has transformed the property into a top-notch 18-hole course (two of the world\u2019s best disc golfers were at this tournament). His story is inspiring because of his low-point that created such a high, not only for Truk, but for such a large community of disc golfers, friends, and family. And thus, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/silva.acres\" target=\"_blank\">Silva Acres Disc Golf Course<\/a> was built.<\/p>\n<p>I met Truk last Summer in Nevada City when I was serving tea (<a title=\"Autumn Update \u2013 Arcata, CA\" href=\"http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/?p=2002\">blog entry here<\/a>). He came aboard the tea bus and said something like, \u201cNo way! This is what I wanted to do.\u201d Inspired by all the free tea he received from locals in Nepal when he was traveling there a little while back, he had decided he wanted to use free tea in a similar way. After he found the tea bus, he took his truck on the road to Santa Cruz and served free tea to strangers. He also made it a custom to make free tea in the clubhouse at Silva Acres for all the players and guests. Excited about all that FREE TEA holds, he invited us to come make tea at the Silva Open, the second annual disc golf tournament at his course.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2233\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5335.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2233\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2233\" alt=\"The tea zone at Silva Acres.\" src=\"http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5335-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5335-1024x682.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5335-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/freeteaparty.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_5335.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2233\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The tea zone at Silva Acres.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Ally, Edna, and I arrived first thing in the morning and set up at the top of the hill in the center of the property.
