Lost mine trail is called such as there was a mine up in the mountains-no one knows where....the miners were lead up this trail blindfolded...eeks..Get out and hike anywhere today, feel the fresh breezes, and let nature take you away...it's a good day to keep the doctor away...

The Sustainable House









Finally finished the house. John oversaw, built, and researched every green square inch of this house. All systems are completely off grid. We are completely solar with a 7 kilowatt system, we have a hoot sewage system that takes black water and converts it to grey water, and we have over 20,000 cubic feet of water storage as we collect roof water, and two artisan wells. We are now landscaping with edible,and decorative natives,and drought tolerant plants. We are starting out winter gardens now and will upload pics as we get finished. The decor is used furniture, and salvaged wood furniture. We have tried to go green within the whole decor, build, and landscaping. We will of course be learning more as we go, but this is the reason we moved here. Our mission to live a sustainable yet beautiful and creative life.

finally back after a small hiatus-sharing the beauty









http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCd-X2PN3CA Now you can get to see where I live...I live where the rain chases the rainbows, where javelinas come to greet you, and black bear mosey down the hiking trails....I am blessed that my job as a guide allows me the opportunity to be out in nature and live my dream of a sustainable livelihood...while showing others the beauty of Big Bend.

Let me know if you come on to the Big Bend
