Personal hygiene al fresco has been quite a joy over the summer, but it’s now time to move our most important business indoors to the newly opened outhouse!!

3 months and 21 years
It’s hard to believe that we’ve been at Sahalee full-time for just 90 days. It seems so natural, like we’ve been here our whole lives. Our 16 years in Florida now seem very much like a sweet tropical dream- Just a little blip on our personal time travel continuum.
Home is where the hearth is
Suddenly, all seems right with the world.
We spent a full day on Saturday laying in the new flooring in the front half of the yurt so we could place the stove, pan, pipe, and cap. Everything came together on Sunday with the custom installation since they don’t sell pre-fab yurt roof chimney vents at Home Depot.
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.
I confess…
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!!
The long and winding road
Welcome to Monsoon Season!! After weeks of hype, we are finally being treated to the downpours of ancient lore.
