Kristen & Edmond's Visit

It's a whirlwind tour. Leaving from Atascadero, California, driving to Durango to pick up the trailer, then south to Ghost Ranch near Abiquiu, New Mexico for a five-day workshop on clay...with materials sourced from the nearby hills and arroyos.







A stop for brunch at Denny's in Albert's Turkey. Thence to Cruces to visit family and on into the semi-wilds of eastern Arizona's Cochise Stronghold and Chiricahua Ntl Monument. Eventually back to Rancho Mirage, a suburb of Palm Springs.


The Apache Plume provide a nice buffer from the street.




Kristen checks out the red & black corn poppies as Edmond gives me a tour of the Alto.

    1. How funny!

      The irony is that at 16 i was living in a high mountain valley off the Ridgeline Road (or some such) just up the street from Joan Baez's mountain hideout above Palo Alto. I went down to visit a friend in Santa Cruz who lived in a similar neighborhood and swore I'd never end up like that. And here i am! The irony is I'm grateful!!!
