I love everything this guy has ever written. I grew up backpacking in AZ since I was 7.
I listened to this podcast traveling from Casas Grandes Northern Mexico back to home in Flagstaff,AZ. It has informed and inspired me own visual quest connecting both homes across this landscape connecting me to the past and present. Please visit my website for
visuals about this amazing landscape and the cultural and artistic florescence of the region
known as the Gran Chichimeca. A MIL GRACIAS for your words and stories!!!
