Expedition Me & You

Even though many months have passed since our final day in New Mexico, I still recall the events of our visit to the Very Large Array. When we last left you , Chris and I had spent the evening staring into space (literally) at an Earthship rental in Taos, New Mexico. When we awoke the next morning we packed the car and headed south.

I fell in love with Earthships at a young age and you bet your sweet bippy I was going to spend the night in one if I could. The Earthship village we stayed in Getting to Taos from Puye had been difficult. Our GPS and phones gave us two completely different sets of instructions. We
