Happy December!! Since we are celebrating six months, I guess now is as good a time as any to do our best to explain how we’re making out since La Nina left laughing at us…

The calm after the storm
If you have been following over the past few weeks, you will have seen that we’ve been operating in a figurative – and literal – whirlwind. After raising a second yurt, spending time with Hurricane Matthew, and marching on with homestead improvements, we are looking forward to reacquainting ourselves with the quiet surroundings and slower pace that Sahalee so wonderfully delivers. That being said, winter is on its way, as the falling leaves remind us, and we still have much, much more to do before we can comfortably and confidently nestle in for our first cold season on the side of the mountain.
Confessions, part 2
Almost three months of being on the mountain, and we’re still acclimating to off-grid living. Overall, things are great and we’re still happy with our decision to go through with this big adventure, but this entry continues where we left off from our original Confessions to provide the full picture of what it’s like to start a homestead from scratch.

Santa Fe National Forest
A richly diverse area that belongs to YOU – The People of this Free and Great Nation… No charge for admission but the views are priceless. GO! SEE! DO!
Chaco Culture
It is really hard to describe in words this ancient and mystical place and convey the appropriate sentiment. Chaco is a marker in time that connects us to the eternal order, and is a waypoint for the spiritual traveler on this earth.
Off grid gourmet
One of the major adjustments we’ve had to make in this move is getting along without refrigeration.
Jailbird
‘Going to town‘ is always eventful in one way or another. This past trip was a little more drama-filled than usual.
Sandoval County Fair
Here are some pics and video of the big happenings around town last weekend during the much-anticipated county fair. ENJOY!!
