NM True TV - Pecos National Historical Park
The ruins of this centuries-old cultural crossroads help visitors, such as the NM True Crew, get a better understanding for New Mexico’s diverse and rich history. All of the cultures that have helped shape the modern day New Mexico seemed to be drawn to this beautiful mountain area at one time or another. From a key trading location dating back a millennium to a key battleground in America’s Civil War, this spot on the map might hold as much significance as any other in the country.

WEBISODE | The Bandera Ice Caves & Volcano | New Mexico PBS
- Ten thousand years ago, near Grants, New Mexico, the Bandera Volcano erupted spewing lava over its sides creating miles of lava tubes. As these tubes cooled, some collapsed, and a natural giant ice cave was formed inside. Throughout the centuries this ice cave has been used as a natural refrigeration system as the temperature never rises above 31 degrees. Now privately owned by the Candelaria family and managed by their son-in-law Jeff Alford, the general public can come and enjoy year-round a beautiful walk into the geologic past and cool off on a hot summer day in this magnificent Ice Cave.

SUMMARY
=======
The Old Spanish Trail (Spanish: Viejo Sendero Español) is a historical trade route that connected the northern New Mexico settlements of (or near) Santa Fe, New Mexico with those of Los Angeles, California and southern California. Approximately 700 mi (1,100 km) long, the trail ran through areas of high mountains, arid deserts, and deep canyons. It is considered one of the most arduous of all trade routes ever established in the United States. Explored, in part, by Spanish explorers as early as the late 16th century, the trail saw extensive use by pack trains from about 1830 until the mid-1850s.
The name of the trail comes from the publication of John C. Frémont’s Report of his 1844 journey for the U.S. Topographical Corps., guided by Kit Carson, from California to New Mexico. The name acknowledges the fact that parts of the trail had been known to the Spanish since the 16th century. Frémont's report named a trail that had already been in use for about 15 years. The trail is important to New Mexico history because it established an arduous but usable trade route with California.

Camp, Hike, Fish Pecos National Historical Park | Pueblo History
Located in Pecos, New Mexico near Santa Fe- Humans have inhabited the Pecos Valley for at least 12,000 years. The fifteenth century Towa-speaking trading pueblo had over 2,000 inhabitants. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Franciscan churches were built and rebuilt here under the direction of the Spanish Conquistadors. By the 1780's disease, raids and drought had decimated the population. And in 1838 the last 17 in habitants moved the Jemenez to live with their Towa-speaking relatives. But the area still saw a civil war battle, the Santa Fe trail and industrial development of the railroad.

Ghost story about the Eklund Hotel (Sorry, NO GHOST FOOTAGE)
On our way to Colorado, my friend's vehicle had a slight problem, so we stayed the night in Clayton, New Mexico in the famed Eklund Hotel. (Go here -- theeklund.com).
The clerk told us (without us asking) that the room we were staying in was haunted. A server later told us the same story.
The end of the video includes a short tour of the Eklund's lobby (it was in December 2006, hence the Christmas trees). Also included is the old saloon below where cowboys used to shoot holes in the ceiling.
Brian Fey talking about agriculture in the Bosque Village
More info about the Bosque Village:
Is there a way people can live in a forest and get food from it without destroying the forest?
How can we grow food without irrigation to serve an Intentional Community?
How can we make Plant Propagation be part of human culture?
What is the agricultural goal of the Bosque Village?
Mexico: What is the Bosque Village?
This is likely the best video explanation of Food Forest Gardening in the Bosque.
This is not the kind of agriculture you are used to.
brian charles interview sm.mpg
lambert strether of Corrente Was nice enough to transcribe part of the interview.
BRIAN FEY (15:04): The most important [plants] are the trees. When you look at an oak tree it has more biomass than I don't know how much of a cornfield. A cornfield is fallow most of the year. A cornfield is going to have dead earth, right, an oak tree is going to protect the earth, and so we don't think of oak trees as what we would eat, but they're really actually very important. We have oak here, we have pine, we have madrone, we have capaline [sp], there are some other native trees, and those are actually, coming back, since this land was logged awhile back, so we're seeing trees returning.
Back to the oak trees. In traditional farming, in industrial farming, you pretty much cut everything down and just have a naked field. You really kill off the earth after awhile and then you have to dump chemicals on it and everything.
We're looking for maximum biomass, and it does not have to be biomass that is directly useful to humans, because we're also trying to feed a biosystem. And there's going to be a lot of things in it that we don't want to eat. Some of them may even bug us. I mean, we want more animal life. There's foxes here, coyotes, ocelots, bobcats, armadillos, a lot of nocturnal life, lot of bird life, we've already seen bird life increasing radically, and that's because we're not cutting things down. We're leaving trees where they fall, and that builds more fungus layer in the soil.
So when you talk about perennials, I don't want to just talk about the food perennials we normally think of.
There's a surprise here, though. The oak tree is actually food. One of the biggest sources of food for indigenous people in North America was flour made from oak acorns. So you've really got to get suspicious about the idea that we should cut down the oak trees and plant corn.
And this:
BRIAN FEY (27:00) The goal here is to have an old-growth forest with massive biodiversity that we can still get products out of. The biggest problem is the humans, then. If we just left this alone, if we just walled it in, and left it alone, it would naturally heal itself, it would naturally diversify. But we also want to learn how to get food. And so the question is, can we have humans near nature without the humans utterly obliterating it? ...
If you look at the evolution of community and people, what do they do? They went to a place, they took resources from it, and then usually they went to another place, we started nomadic, they went to another place, often seasonally. That's a really good strategy. But when we started staying in one place, and doing agriculture in a more intense way, we started stomping all the ground around it. And you just see death, radiating outward from all the humans. ...
We're smarter now, and we see the pattern. We see that when we show up in a place, we're going to destroy the land. So the question here in the Bosque, is can we lower the actual literal human footprint? For example, the trails. We just don't walk everywhere, because even our feet will compact the soil and we'll get less mushrooms. Mushrooms are a great harvest here, and I don't want to learn how to grow 'em in a building. I want to learn how to work with nature, so we're supporting their own life. ...
So reducing the human footprint, then, is about not having lots of... For example, I don't want to divide the land up and have everybody have their own separate systems. I want to figure out what things we centralize and what we don't, and how we can crush less of the land, and how we can harvest less of the stuff. We keep learning that ... If we can really figure out how people can live in a forest, even a whole town, if a hundred, four hundred people, could live in a forest, and have all of their basic food needs met by that system, even their clothing needs, with rabbit furs, sure we would still import some things, and sure we could trade some things out. But if we could really figure that out, so that we have an old growth forest, sustainably, with a community of people, then we have solved the human problem on earth.

Liberia - TV Tourism Commercial - Experience West Africa - TV Advert - TV Spot - The Travel Channel
Liberia Listeni/laɪˈbɪəriə/, officially the Republic of Liberia, is a country in West Africa bordered by Sierra Leone to its west, Guinea to its north and Côte d'Ivoire to its east. It covers an area of 111,369 km2 (43,000 sq mi) and is home to about 3.7 million people.
English is the official language and over thirty indigenous languages are also spoken within the country. Its coastline is composed mostly of mangroves, while its more sparsely populated inland consists of forests opening onto a plateau of drier grasslands. The climate is hot and equatorial, with significant rainfall during the May--October rainy season and harsh harmattan winds the remainder of the year. The country possesses about forty percent of the remaining Upper Guinean rainforest.
Liberia is the only country in Africa founded by United States colonization while occupied by native Africans. Beginning in 1820, the region was colonized by blacks from the United States, most of whom were freed slaves. These immigrants established a new country with the help of the American Colonization Society, a private organization whose leaders thought former slaves would have greater opportunity in Africa. African captives freed from slave ships by the British and Americans were sent there instead of being repatriated to their countries of origin.
In 1847, this new country became the Republic of Liberia, establishing a government modeled on that of the United States and naming its capital city Monrovia after James Monroe, the fifth president of the United States and a prominent supporter of the colonization. The colonists and their descendants, known as Americo-Liberians, led the political, social, cultural and economic sectors of the country and ruled the nation for over 130 years as a dominant minority.
The country began to modernize in the 1940s following investment by the United States during World War II and economic liberalization under President William Tubman. Liberia was a founding member of the United Nations and the Organization of African Unity. In 1980 a military coup overthrew the Americo-Liberian leadership, marking the beginning of political and economic instability and two successive civil wars.
These resulted in the deaths of approximately 250,000 people and devastated the country's economy. A peace agreement in 2003 led to democratic elections in 2005. Today, Liberia is recovering from the lingering effects of the civil wars and their consequent economic upheaval, but about 85% of the population continue to live below the international poverty line.
Pirate Treasure & Colonial History - A Day in St. Augustine, Florida
The St. Augustine Pirate & Treasure Museum is located directly across from Castillo De San Marcos in downtown St. Augustine, Florida. It is filled with artifacts and hands on activities that will truly transport your family over 300 years to the height of the Golden Age of Piracy! Our kids loved firing the cannon, finding the hidden discovery drawers, and spying real treasure in the exhibits. The walking tour was super informative, and presented pirate history of the area in an interesting and engaging way. Just a few steps down the street is the Colonial Quarter. This outdoor living history museum was the perfect way for the kids to really soak in the history of this area and get to experience the sights and sounds of the early settlement. We took the Historical Adventure Tour, included with the ticketed price, and LOVED it! The tour guide presented the information in a family friendly, memorable way with lots of demonstrations to bring history to life.

SUMMARY
=======
New Mexico (Spanish: Nuevo México pronounced [ˈnweβo ˈmexiko], Navajo: Yootó Hahoodzo pronounced [jòːtxó xɑ̀xʷòːtsò]) is a state in the Southwestern region of the United States of America. It is one of the Mountain States and shares the Four Corners region with Utah, Colorado, and Arizona; its other neighboring states are Oklahoma to the northeast, Texas to the east-southeast, and the Mexican states of Chihuahua to the south and Sonora to the southwest. With a population around two million, New Mexico is the 36th-most populous state. With a total area of 121,590 sq mi (314,900 km2), it is the fifth-largest and sixth-least densely populated of the 50 states. Its capital and cultural center is Santa Fe, while its largest city is Albuquerque. Due to their geographic locations, northern and eastern New Mexico exhibit a colder, alpine climate, while western and southern New Mexico exhibit a warmer, arid climate.
The economy of New Mexico is dependent on oil drilling, mineral extraction, dryland farming, cattle ranching, lumber milling, and retail trade. As of 2016-2017, its total gross domestic product (GDP) was $95 billion with a GDP per capita of $45,465. New Mexico's status as a tax haven yields low to moderate personal income taxes on residents and military personnel, and gives tax credits and exemptions to favorable industries. Because of this, its film industry has grown and contributed $1.23 billion to its overall economy. Due to its large area and economic climate, New Mexico has a large U.S. military presence marked notably with the White Sands Missile Range. Various U.S. national security agencies base their research and testing arms in New Mexico such as the Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories. During the 1940s, Project Y of the Manhattan Project developed and built the country's first atomic bomb and nuclear test, Trinity.
Inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years before European exploration, it was colonized by the Spanish in 1598 as part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain. In 1563, it was named Nuevo México after the Aztec Valley of Mexico by Spanish settlers, more than 250 years before the establishment and naming of the present-day country of Mexico; thus, the present-day state of New Mexico was not named after the country today known as Mexico. After Mexican independence in 1824, New Mexico became a Mexican territory with considerable autonomy. This autonomy was threatened, however, by the centralizing tendencies of the Mexican government from the 1830s onward, with rising tensions eventually leading to the Revolt of 1837. At the same time, the region became more economically dependent on the United States. At the conclusion of the Mexican–American War in 1848, the United States annexed New Mexico as the U.S. New Mexico Territory. It was admitted to ...
