We’ve had desert, mountains, lush valleys and back to deserts, mountains and we are spending the night in a valley. I say it’s a valley because it is lower than the mountains surrounding us, but the elevation here in this valley is 8,250.
Pretty elevated when you consider that Troy’s elevation is 561. The towns here show the elevation on their city limit signs instead of the population.
One area we came thru today was quite different than any we’ve seen so far. In the desert before we got to Taos, we started seeing some mostly underground structures. The part of the structure that was above the ground was brightly colored with twists and odd angles. There were several of them, almost like they each had maybe a two or three acre plot and it was an area called EARTHSHIP with maybe 40 or 50 total. I compared the setting of them in the desert to being almost like the prairie dog towns we have seen. The entrance referred to ‘bio-diesel/ bio-textural’ something or other. We have a few pictures of them. They were quite different and odd.
The city of Taos was an upscale artsy (translate to expensive) type area with very narrow winding streets lined with one art gallery after another.
