Editing Arco Station and Retreat

==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.

[COMING SOON: Grazing lands for a small cattle ranch to the south of Arco Station]

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.)

[COMING SOON: A multi-crop farm to the north, closer to Varga's Lake]

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.

==Era & Themes, General Feel & Esthetic==
The general Esthetic of Arco Station might be called ''American Vintage''. All of the permanent structures and features; buildings, race tracks, parks, etc., have a look and feel of the 1930's and 40's Era America on an Earth World, despite everything being engineered and built to much higher standards and with much better building materials.

The general Theme of Arco Station's Attractions might be called ''Post Apocalypse American Vintage''. They and are part Vintage Motorcycle Racing, Formula One Racing and Vintage Air Shows, part Fantasy Renaissance Faire, and part Post Apocalypse thrown in for fun. There are Race Tracks outside of the Downtown area with many Pavilion Tents setup in areas leading up to and around the track area that look part Ren-Fest and part Post-Apocalyptic Camp with Fighting Pits hosting Combat Displays to watch and canvas tents hosting Performers, Artists and Vendors, most with Services or Wares for sale.

Despite the high energy nature of many of the Attractions, the general Feel of Arco Station & Retreat is ''relaxed''; without a hint of 'city hustle' present, it's obvious the Citizens tend to take their time, in general.  Also, Visitors tend to slow down and take more time to enjoy the sites and sounds in and around Arco Station when visiting the area.

==Attractions, Features & Services==
The Attractions in the Entertainment Venues include Vintage Motorcycle Racing, Vintage Motorcycle Chariot Races, Motorcycle Jousting and Motorcycle Melee Events, as well as Vintage Airshows and Vintage Formula One Racing, most with available training for those who wish.

<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Motorcycleracing-Arcostation-Alamond.jpg|300px]] [[File:Airshow-Arcostation-Alamond.jpg|300px]] [[File:F1racing-Arcostation-Alamond.jpg|300px]]</div>

The Attractions also include various Armed and Unarmed Combat Attractions; shows, displays & competitions, in various sized pits and arenas, ranging from one on one pitfights to small scale battles, to large Battle Royales.  All available for the Spectator to enjoy and with Combat Training available for those who wish to participate.

One of the most unusual Features of Arco Station are the Attraction Sites; most are Dug-in Arenas. This means that both the Performance Area (race track, fighting pit, etc.) and the Stands for Spectators, are dug into the ground, most looking much like a miniature to small Open Pit Mine. There are several reasons for this, the Esthetic being one reason, and keeping the sound of the Attractions from traveling across the desert flatlands and disturbing the general peace and quiet of the nearby Town and Residences. 

<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Pitfighting-Arcostation-Alamond2.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Pitfighting-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Arenafighting-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]]</div>

There is also an archery range and two firearms ranges; one for handguns and one for rifles. All offer displays and shows of marksmanship and trick shooting.  The ranges can provide weapons and ammo as well as training. Bring Your Own is welcomed and encouraged.

<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Archeryrange-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Riflerange-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|400px]] [[File:Handgunrange-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]]</div>

And a most unique Attraction is a Siege Weapons Range with Displays & Shows for the Spectator to enjoy... and training for those that want to be a Participant. Available siege weapons include but are not limited to: arrow flingers, spear launchers (single and multiple), ballista (small thru huge), catapults (small thru huge) and trebuchet (small thru huge). And even a special trebuchet that has been designed to fling cars.

<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Ballista-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Catapult-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Trebuchet-Arcostation-Alamond1.1.jpg|300px]]</div>

The surrounding and nearby Natural Features provide more casual venues for Outdoor Enthusiasts.  The surrounding desert flatlands and hills provide excellent areas for off-roading adventures. The scenic hills, hoodoos and rock formations provide excellent hiking, rock climbing and rough camping opportunities. The nearby lake, Varga's Lake as it's now called, with its several natural beaches, scenic canyons and rock formations provides beautiful areas suitable for camping, boating, fishing, waterskiing and swimming. The forested mountains with its several rivers, streams and tiny mountain lakes, all located on the far side of the lake, provides hiking, fishing, hunting and rough camping opportunities. Campgrounds, Cabin Rentals, Boat & Ski Rentals, Bait & Tackle Shop & an Outdoorsman Equipment Shop are all available near the Docks and Marina at the Lake.

<div class="center" style="width: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">[[File:Lake at Arco Station2.1.jpg|300px]] [[File:Lake at Arco Station4.1.png]] [[File:Lake at Arco Station3.1.jpg|300px]]</div>

The Downtown area has two Major Streets; Main St. and Lake St., and has an American Vintage feel with all of its buildings looking like they were built in the 1930's and 40's.  It provides services for the surrounding residences as well as the Visitors... though not all Services are available to Visitors. 

The Neighborhoods surrounding the Downtown area are Walled-In for the Security and Privacy of the Residents.  Outsiders, Visitors and Guests are Strictly Forbidden to enter ANY Walled Neighborhood without specifically being Invited by a Citizen of Arco Station. Citizens are given VIP Guest Tokens that they are to give to those Special Invited Guests when they want a Non-Citizen of Arco Station to visit them at their Residence. 

The Residences surrounding the Downtown area come in three styles: 
*Small 1-2 bedroom house with a 1 car garage or carport and a small back yard; these are located closest to the Downtown Business area. 
*Medium 2-3 bedroom house with a 2 car garage and a high carport for RV's or Semis and a large back yard; these are located next to the Downtown Neighborhood, further from the Downtown Business area. 
*Large 4-6 bedroom house with 2-4 car garage, high double carport for RV's and a large surrounding estate; these are located furthest from the Downtown area and are sometimes found in secluded or scenic area. 
***All yards and estate areas are fenced; fencing type varies by neighborhood and estate.

*300+ Support Staff

===Non-Borns (85+)===
These Non-Borns started drifting in once some the buildings were completed, sometimes showing up individually or in small groups.  Each claiming they were attracted to the area from 'somewhere else' and wanted to be a part of Arco Station. Each had varying Skill Sets that could be useful in Arco Station and Retreat, so each was welcomed in.  They all found a niche where their skills were needed and they could feel useful and be a part of the community; which they were. Most took Service Industry Positions; Cashiers, Clerks & Vendors for Shops and Booths... Bartenders, Cooks & Waitstaff for Eateries & Watering Holes... Cleaners of Laundry, Businesses and Homes... and a few other specialized Professions to help fill in the gaps allowing the Arco Boys to focus on their Specialties; Racing, Combat Performances & Weaponry, and of course, Mechanics and Fabrication/Repair.

*Bruce & Phyllis: Retirees and Campers
**Commonly referred to as 'that Nice Old Couple camping at the Lake' or 'those Nice Old Campers', Bruce and Phyllis were Arco Station & Retreat's first Visitors, even though the Encampment was not yet officially 'open for business'.  They stopped in one day after a fair number of businesses and attraction sites had been constructed, staffed and supplied. They went to the Arco Service Station for gas, propane and to have the truck and travel trailer looked over in the shop while they had lunch at the Diner.  Afterwards they visited every open business to get supplies, then headed out to the Lake for a much deserved retirement and some peaceful enjoyment of the gifts Nature had to offer in this region.
**Bruce and Phyllis make friends easily and are happy to strike-up a conversation, share a fishing or camping tip and assist others if they can. They are generous and often 'adopt' young campers, singles and young couples, especially those with young children, and make sure they are doing okay and usually end up feeding them.  Phyllis was not too pleased about some of the 'bikers' and 'hotrodders' that camped near them a little too often for her liking, but Bruce scoffed and said, 'They're just people. Like you and me.'  When she found this to be true she began inviting some of them over for dinner... she now has any number of 'tough guys' calling her 'mom' while washing the dishes after dinner.
**Bruce and Phyllis are most often found at the Lake Campgrounds area or any number of other Camping Sites or Rough Sites in and around the Scenic Areas outside Arco Station itself. They come into Town regularly for supplies, though not frequently and do ''not'' attend any of the Attractions ''except'' the Airshows.  They can usually be encountered at the Grocery Store, Hardware Store, Department Store and Arco Service Station.  They can sometimes be found at the Diner, Steakhouse or Bowdark's BBQ... but only if those establishments aren't too busy.
**NOTE: Due to the Aging Effect they could look younger, but they 'chose' to look old enough to 'look retired', but still young enough to enjoy it.
