  Descripción

  I am a single father, who has the children here part time. My daughter is 7 and my son is 13 now in 2023.
  She is very spunky, and he is very kind. My mission is to stay in this place as much as possible. To work and write, make music, artful builds and garden in a way that most honors indigenious foodways. We enjoy meeting new people, and hanging out here, recreating nearby. I enjoy yoga, long hikes/ climbs, and taking the kids to water features during the summer, and to play in the snow in the winter.

  The idea is to leave a good legacy going forward. Tree inspired mostly. Something that outlasts generations. Durable building and garden practices associated with upcycling, reuse and salvaged goods.
  
  Over the course of a decade a more cohesive plan has come into place as a result of careful observation and a study of traditional practices.
  
  It's nice to have someone who relates well with kids, becase my kids love the company. They are 7 and 13 now in 2023.
  
  A good cook and kitchen hand has been the biggest blessing as of late. Someone who is good at tidying up. A good example for the kids. Garden help is always a blessing. Be it planting, weeding, harvesting or fencing. Whatever the season calls for.
  something is most always being built as well. Extra construction hands are often also appreciated.

  Ayuda

  There are numerous infrastructure and permaculture projects in the making on this 2 acres with river running through the middle. Atop the list are forming raised garden beds that will be watered from roof gathered water and help building a self contained compostable outhouse, with a solar shower on the far side. I also want to augment soils with goat manure.

  We are at 8,000 feet above sea level or 2,600 meters roughly. The burgeoning town of Durango with numerous activities is 15 minutes away, down hill to 6,512 feet elevation by car. the La Plata River runs through the middle of our property. The austere La Plata Mountains are in view, extending snowcapped, 13,000 feet above sea level into the sky. A "thirteener" as we know them can be climbed in a day by one with a certain fortitude. "La Plata" means "silver." The (Public Lands) San Juan National forest is about a 15 minute bike ride of the road of here, up La Plata Canyon and extends well beyond. There is also nature hiking to be enjoyed out the back door of this property and much of the property itself is a natural setting, full of birds, and critters and a variety of flora that a riparian environment can provide. We have friendly neighbors, and enjoy occasional neighborhood gatherings in the summer especially.
