Chimney Rock National Monument, Colorado
One of America's newest National Monuments - a place of mystery, a sacred place, a celestial observatory and seasonal calendar for the Ancestral Puebloans over 1,000 years ago. Chimney Rock is a place of unparalleled natural beauty sitting on a high mesa at the southern edge of the San Juan Mountains and on the National Register of Historic Places since 1970.
Great House
Chimney Rock lies within the San Juan National Forest - between Durango and Pagosa Springs in southwestern Colorado. The Monument encompasses 4,726 acres, preserving hundreds of prehistoric sites that dot the landscape around the twin spires known as Chimney Rock and Companion Rock.
Home to the ancestors of the modern Pueblo Indians - with spiritual significance to many tribes, the Ancestral Puebloans built more than 200 homes and ceremonial buildings high above the valley floor, probably to be near the twin rock pinnacles. Some ancient structures have been excavated and stabilized for viewing including: a Great Kiva, a Pit House, a Multi-Family Dwelling, and a Chacoan style Great House Pueblo. Many unexcavated structures stimulate the imagination.

Lost City Of Native Tewa People Rediscovered - Ancient History Is Much Different Than We Think
The name Tewa refers to linguistically related American Indian peoples who live in seven distinct communities referred to as pueblos, the name applied to them by the Spanish colonists in the late 1500s.
The Tewa-speaking Pueblo peoples live, as they have since aboriginal times, in the southwestern United States. Six Tewa pueblos are located adjacent to the Rio Grande in central/north-central New Mexico and one is located on a mesa in northeastern Arizona. The New Mexico Tewa pueblos are San Juan Pueblo, Santa Clara Pueblo, San Ildefonso Pueblo, Tesuque Pueblo, Pojoaque Pueblo, and Nambe Pueblo. The Arizona Pueblo, referred to as Hopi-Tewa because their culture is similar to the Hopi on First Mesa, is Hano at First Mesa. The Hano Tewa lived in New Mexico until they fled following the 1696 Pueblo Revolt (see Hopi and Hopi-Tewa for more information).

The Climate Revolution BOOK
Leah and I are two humans who no longer support the inhuman, oligarchic empire model destroying our planet and our true nature as human beings. As activists we decided to do something about it, so we opted out of our former lives to begin anew. We are currently transforming pristine alpine wilderness into a self-sustaining homestead and organic farm in preparation for the upcoming collapse. We plan on developing and executing every single step of the process in open source format for the benefit of all humanity. With our backgrounds in academia and the sciences (climatology, geology, physics, biology, chemistry, and more) we hope to uncover the lies perpetrated by the mass media. It will be presented here and on our website in a systematic and thorough process. As you can imagine, this is a multifaceted, lifelong project, and we are so passionately excited to take the next steps towards self sufficiency and our dream! Won't you join us?

Governor Hickenlooper Signs Clean Energy Bill in Centennial Park, Pagosa Springs Colorado
About 75 people gathered under and around a big white tent in Pagosa Springs' Centennial Park on Friday May 30, to witness a somewhat historic event, as Colorado governor John Hickenlooper publicly applied his signature to HB14-1222... to the applause of the gathered crowd.
A handful of video crews were present to document the ceremony, and we had a chance to hear briefly from elected officials — State Representative Mike MacLachlan, County Commissioner Clifford Lucero, Pagosa's mayor Don Volger, and of course Gov. Hickenlooper — and from Pagosa Verde founder Jerry Smith. Hickenlooper referred to his own experiences, as a young man, opening the first brewpub in Colorado, and predicted that a future geothermal electricity generation project was going to brand Pagosa as a place where things are done differently, a place of innovation, and where it's an outdoor, sustainable quality of life. (Obvious emphasis on the word sustainable.)
No one, speaking during the ceremony, explained exactly what the law would accomplish or how it would encourage private investment in geothermal energy projects, but I had a chance to speak with Jerry Smith a couple of days later and get an overview of how funding might unfold for a proposed $16 million electric generation plant, based on Pagosa's geothermal resource.
One of the primary problems with development of new geothermal industries in Pagosa Springs — whether they be greenhouses or electric generating plants — concerns the existing water rights owned by local spas. Pagosa was originally settled, back in the 1880s, within easy walking distance of the therapeutic mineral baths which, some claimed, were helpful in treating numerous and sundry medical conditions. The town currently has three private businesses that charge admission to use the healing waters — or that allow free soaking for their motel customers.
The geothermal water is considered a public resource — owned by the people of Colorado — but these three businesses have been granted legal right to use the hot water in their baths before returning it to the San Juan River. Additionally, the Town of Pagosa Springs owns two wells that are used in a municipal heating utility. The utility, developed in the 1980s, serves about 30 businesses, homes and schools in the center of downtown — and also supplies water to the Springs Resort for its private soaking pools, under a geothermal lease. Unfortunately, the underground utility has been suffering financially from ongoing maintenance issues, and from a lack of customers.
Any further development of the public geothermal resource would need to respect these existing uses, which is why it has been crucial to determine the extent and volume of the underground resource before committing to, for example, a $16 million electric generating project.
Pagosa Verde principal Jerry Smith gave me a quick rundown on HB14-1222 and how it might play into the development of a proposed geothermal electric generating plant. The state of Colorado had approved a law, a decade ago, that was supposed to open up funding opportunities for the development of alternative energy projects — wind, solar, geothermal — by allowing the state and federal government to underwrite bonds for private alternative energy companies. HB14-1222, which was pushed through the legislature this year by Representative MacLachlan and Senators Ellen Roberts and Gail Schwartz, amended that earlier law to make the funding process more attractive to the bond purchasers.
Back in January 2014, the Town of Pagosa Springs and Archuleta County created a joint Geothermal Water and Power Authority to help fund the creation of a new electric generating plant somewhere in the downtown area. As I understand the process (from bits of information picked up from various public meetings) electricity generating is typically carried out by heating water into steam — using coal or natural gas as the heat source. The violently expanding steam is used to drive turbines, which in turn create an AC current.
If the water comes into the plant at, say, 50 degrees, its temperature must be increased by about 160 degrees in order to create steam. Those additional thermal units result from burned coal or natural gas. If, however, the water comes into the plant at, say, 140 degrees, then much less coal or natural gas is required to reach the boiling point. Theoretically, then, a geothermal heated water source will make an electric generating plant more profitable to operate.
But there's one particular part of the process that can pose a problem. The electricity — once generated — needs an extensive grid of power lines to carry the product to the customers. Here in America, the power lines are generally owned by private companies and rural co-ops. Without access to the power lines, a $16 million generating plant is essentially worthless.

Durango's Top Summer Adventures - Rafting, Jeeping, & Mesa Verde National Park
Those seeking to get on the river for the first time or those looking to get their white water season off to a serene start, should consider rivers we would classify as “milder” options. These rivers typically have the Class I “moving water” to comfortably float down the river, some Class II “splashes” that get your legs wet just over the side of the boat, and potentially some Class III “wet and fun” that get you soaked head to toe! This is a great way to experience white water rafting in Colorado without getting in over your head. A mild option we provide in Colorado is the Lower Animas in Durango:
Ready for the next step up when it comes to white water rafting in Colorado? Steer towards a more intermediate river. These usually provide Class I “moving water”, Class II “splashes”, Class III “wet and fun”, and even some Class IV “big drops” which jump start your heart as you paddle through exciting whitewater. These rivers will keep you excited while you are able to take in some incredible scenery. These rivers can be more technical than the milder options, and they usually require a little more work as the guests must be willing to paddle. The payoff is very much worth it! The Upper Piedra River near Pagosa Springs is a great intermediate option:
Looking for the ultimate adventure that will make the hair on your arms stand up and your heart pump quickly? Then jump on the wild options of white water rafting in Colorado! The two rivers in Colorado we offer that we classify as high adventure are the Lower Piedra in Pagosa Springs and the Upper Animas in the Silverton area. The Upper Animas at high water, many consider to be the most difficult commercially run trip in the United States! Both of these areas provide Class II “splashes”, Class III “wet and fun”, Class IV “big drops” and Class V rapids that will get your adrenaline pumping and often need to be portaged. Both rivers you must be 16 years old and up and also in good health and physically fit. At Mild to Wild Rafting and Jeep Tours, we also take extra precautions on these rivers such as smaller guest to guide customer ratios, guides with more river miles than required by the state with trip leaders averaging 5,000 river miles for the Upper Animas, and have extra certifications such as wilderness safety. Other precautions we take include extra safety boats and required pre trip wetsuit fittings and practice swims. These rivers will leave you on top of the world!
On our Durango Jeep Tour you will see numerous wildflowers, high-alpine meadows, and avalanche gullies. Following the La Plata River (meaning “Silver” in Spanish) to La Plata City, an old mining town established in 1875, you’ll discover the remnants of old mining claims. These include a tall intact chimney left from the crew quarters, the framework of old cabins, and tailing piles from actual mining areas. Then, you’ll continue to the peak of Kennebec Pass at 12,000 feet above sea level (also above tree-line).
Explore Colorado’s most preserved mining sites and immerse yourself in the history of the American West. Tour into the Tundra high above Silverton, a world away from the stresses of modern life with waterfalls, mountain wildlife, beautiful vistas and Colorado’s famous wildflowers. A great trip for the whole family and kids are extra entertained with our Mild to Wild scavenger hunt. Find the items on the checklist and get some fool’s gold!
A true Durango vacation is not complete without a day at Mesa Verde National Park. Relive history on our Mesa Verde Discovery Tour. Discover the rich culture and architecture of the Ancestral Puebloans on a small, guided interpretive tour. Explore Cliff Palace and Spruce Tree Cliff Dwellings. Take in 700 years of history on the Mesa Loop. Explore the museum and Visitor’s Center and enjoy a delicious, deli-style lunch.

Amazing Sn3 Model Railroad - Gil Bennett's Narrow Gauge Denver and Rio Grande Western
Gil Bennett is one of America's best known railroad subject artists. But he is also known in the model railroad community for his amazing Sn3 three foot gauge model of the Denver and Rio Grande Western - Rio Grande Southern.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Many of his locomotives and his rolling stock are by PBL. PBL has been promoting Sn3 for years as the perfect three foot narrow gauge scale, and the track is so similar to HO, not just in gauge, but in curve radius. If you can fit HO standard gauge, you can fit Sn3.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
From their web site:
To say that there has never been a Scale Model produced to this level of detail might be a stretch, but only because the term Scale Model can be used to describe anything from 1:1 on down...
But even the casual viewer will be doing a double-take at this photo of a for-real actual 3/16's inch scale model because it's truly that amazing!
From Gil's his web site:
Gil is an industrial illustrator that has had over 30 years of experience. He began painting from a young age, and after receiving a degree from the University of Utah, began his own studio in the Wasatch Front.
Gil began working in industrial illustration after meeting and working with famous illustrator Howard Fogg. Since that time, Gil has been featured in numerous magazines in the US and abroad, has received dozens of awards for his model building and paintings.
Gil has had work featured in rail road museums in Utah, California, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Wisconsin.
Gil has completed over 2000 watercolor and oil paintings that have been purchased and featured by the likes of W. H. Miner, Tidemark, Xerox, Union Pacific, Utah Railway, and various other publishers and private collectors.
Gil currently lives and works in Saratoga Springs, Utah where he enjoys the company of his dog, Jack, his wife Gayleen, and his four sons.
