Editing Arco Station and Retreat (section)

==History==
Arco Station & Retreat is a newly created Encampment established in the Bundleton Region of [[Alamond]]. It's located in a high mountain desert area near the border of the High Rock Region and a confluence of natural features; desert flatlands, desert hills and hoodoos, colorful sandstone rock formations, and a large lake next to a forested mountain. 

Arco Station & Retreat was Founded by Rodak Arco and Raphael de la Varga with a Recommendation from Zachary Hepplewhite of [[Hepplewhite's Circus and Grand Revue]].  The main purpose of the Arco Station is as a Home Base for the Adventurers' Society (led by Raphael de la Varga), as a Residence for the Arco Boys and their families (led by Rodak Arco) and as a Residence and Permanent Venue Site for the newly added [[Rickenbacker Flying Circus]] and attached Support Staff.

The initial site chosen for Arco Station was an area populated with tall cottonwood trees surrounded by an otherwise flat desert landscape of sparse sagebrush, short cedar trees and juniper bushes. After surveying the area it was determined most of the trees could be saved and used to shade the Downtown area and surrounding Neighborhoods. As the dirt moving began it was soon discovered why the area was more verdant than the surroundings; a natural well with water nearly flowing out of it right where it was planned the townhall would be built. One of the Arco Boys was a retired Geologist and Driller, and with help from another Arco Boy who was a 30 year veteran Dirt Mover and aspiring Civil Engineer, figured out where it was safe to build. So, plans were altered and now there is a park next to and behind the townhall with a well that now flows-over to feeds a little stream that flows through the Park to the south.

The Downtown Area Businesses and surrounding Residences were constructed first, as well as the Fish Hatchery at Varga's Lake. Two main Roads were laid out in a Compass Point Crossroads: Main Street going East/West; a soon to be paved rural highway leading west into town and dead ending before the Attraction Site Areas, and Lake Road going North/South; a soon to be paved road leading North to Varga's Lake and South to the edge of town where it will remain an unpaved road leading to the Cattle Ranch. This was followed by the Race Tracks, Fighting Pits and Tent Village areas, then the Campgrounds for Visitors then Docks and Marina at Varga's Lake.

(Not all buildings/services/attractions that were initially planned were built prior to Arco Station's Grand Opening Celebration and First Performances... there was a priority to what got built in what order and why.)

When the [[Rickenbacker Flying Circus]], led by  Eddie Rickenbacker, Harry Hartz, and Earnst Udet, with their Racing Teams and Airshows joined Arco Station, at the 'recommendation' of Zachary Hepplewhite and with the approval of Raphael de la Varga, more Race Tracks and Stands were added in the empty desert flatlands surrounding Arco Station. The Airshows were easily integrated into Arco Station and Retreat's Official Opening and Performances; however, the construction of the Race Tracks took more time as ALL of the Race Tracks at Arco Station are Dug-in Arenas, as are the Fighting Pits and any other Attraction that are bound to cause a lot of noise for the nearby Town and Residences.

[COMING SOON: Formula One Racing Tracks]

When Eddie and his Crew first arrived in the Arco Station area, the influx of Non-Borns came to an immediate halt; rumors persisted of their history of shenanigans. However, after the Race Track and Air Strips were added, the flow of Non-Borns suddenly started back up again and increased in numbers, helping to fill in all the gaps in needed Manpower, Services and Talents to keep Arco Station running 24/7 if desired.
