The last weekend me and Grainne went up to a little "community" called Wind Spirit. It's about 16 miles north of Winkelman (if any of you know where that is) off a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. The time we spent their was awesome. There are 15-20 people who are currently living there, all of whom are very interesting..... I think the coolest person I met while I was there was The Goat Dude. He was an older guy, who after getting 5 degrees (including his doctorate) decided life was too short and became a goat herder. I tried some of his goat milk (there's only so many opportunities in life) and I must say it is quite tasty and refreshing. They also had ducks, chickens, an awesome vegetable garden, and an abundance of fruit & citrus trees.
The days were really hot, so we would wake up at four or five in the morning in order to get some awesome hiking done while it was still cool. When the sun would come around, we'd read, sleep & widdle. We also got to help out, and make a giant makeshift ramada out of bamboo, to shade one of the buses that a really nice Israeli woman and her daughter were living in.
I was originally hoping to road trip up to Yellowstone and The Gran Tetons this month but it looks like those plans have fallen through. Instead I think I will be trying to hitchhike up to Canyon De Chelly at the end of the month. Thats life in a nut shell, I look forward to hearing from the rest of you soon!
