    A informal summer gathering in Flagstaff

    Hi Mickie, Yes, indeedy, it does look amazing. I like the fact that you can return to the comfort of your vehicle to sleep at night. A lot of these outdoor skills schools skills do not permit that. I've done brain tanning, created literally thousands of pieces of bead work, sometimes...

    Unbuildable lots- potential for vandwellers?

    As a long time New Mexican I can verify those CL listings of flat barren cold (or hot) sagebrush tiny lots. Besides the legal issues, I like to see a tree once in a while. I spent a day in nearby Tres Piedras, elev 8k ft. Winter there is the real deal and you're way out in the middle of...

    Stocking items for barter

    And what havoc that 20 below zero weather wreaked here in northern NM. It was said that for political reasons Santa Fe and Albuquerque, the state capital and the biggest city in the state, got the available fuel while outlying NO NM got nothing for several weeks.

    A informal summer gathering in Flagstaff

    I think everyone would agree that Bob's RTR offering is a great gift. As for other teachings, like everything that costs something, each individual has to decide if they can afford it and if it's worth it to them. I want to learn these skills, so a week of camping on pristine land, the...

    Newbie Dreaming of a Mobile Studio

    Amy, Here's a good size cargo trailer for sale used for 2 years by another artist. On CL, been there a while. If still for sale should go down in price. Part of my career was in the fashion industry. I still love clothing so I jumped when I saw the long clothing rack at one end of the...

    Roundabouts?

    NM is notoriously behind the times. We're known for our small dirt roads right near the state capital bldg. Winding roads, non grid layout, tourists get lost easily. NM tops the nation in bad drivers. Suddenly we have 2 roundabouts and they are a free for all. Apparently Yield is a word most...

    A informal summer gathering in Flagstaff

    That alone would be worth the trip! Sounds beautiful. I planned to come in my minivan but just found a house, an old adobe with turquoise trim, full of quirks, but with a walled, terraced back yard where I can practice wilderness skills, flint knapping, hide tanning, basket making...

    Fantastic Fan without 12V hookup

    The model I listed today in this thread is remote control w rain sensor fan. Great lady at Dometic (who now owns Fantastic Fans) name Bree helped me, you can ask for her by name. And if you go their site it shows each model and function. The one I like 7350 I believe, offers manual or remote...
