| First day of our residency. Our host Billy Ehret allowed us to come a day early so we didn't need to find camping on Saturday - though there is plenty in the area - our drive included a couple miles through the Los Alamos National Laboratory, requiring us to show ID at the machine gun nest guarded gates and passing without turning into Oppenheimer Way or Bikini Atoll Road. Easter morning was focused upon resurrecting our dirty clothes and unpacking the truck. As stroll along Highway 4 we discovered some intriguing juniper/cypress trees lining a park and hot springs feeding into the river that provides irrigation for the resident farmers. And, some rather massive posters promoting our sharing event - feeling some pressure to produce! Jo has already begun collecting plant life for something. |
