You would never know these homes were made from old tires and packed dirt! They are beautiful, exotic, and completely green and off the grid. It was really cool to see a baby pineapple right there in the indoor garden. The bottles placed in the walls let light in to the inner rooms that is soothing and colorful. They build these anywhere all over the world. Where shall I put mine??
Let's get started!

Bosque del Apache Socorro, New Mexico
WOW! Thousands of snow geese, happily cooing away, flapping their wings, splashing around. It is truly an awesome sight. We took a tour of the bosque, the land is heavily managed to take of the geese, ducks and of course the sandhill cranes that come through. It was fun to hear them in Ojo Caliente and then see where they rest and fatten up for the rest of their migration. Truly a wondrous sight!
Everyone benefits from this bisque; birds, people and the land.

Smokey the Bear--Only YOU!
Capitan, New Mexico
Smokey!! The cutest little cub rescued from a fire in 1950. He became so famous they buried him in the dark of the night so his grave would remain secret and safe. This is a nice little museum with a beautiful garden explaining different growing zones and their plants.
