Between March and July, Rachel and I took a trip around the United States. Leaving from Tennessee, directly west across the Southwest to the Pacific coast, north along 101 through Big Sur to Northern Cali where we WWOOFed for the first time, further north to western Oregon to our second WWOOFing destination. Then north east to the mountains and the Great American Prairie in Montana.
It has been an epic journey to say the least. One that has revealed the magnitude, awe and beauty of nature ten-fold to that which we had merely heard about and imagined all of our lives in traditional modernity.
Get out and see your world. There is much to appreciate. Any experience that makes you feel a bit smaller, a bit humbler, a bit more knowledgable, can yield a perspective that few in our age ever achieve. We live in an amazing universe, there is no doubt. Our planet, alone, is proof of that.

Touring a Pistachio Nut Farm in New Mexico - PistachioLand - Home of World's Largest Pistachio!
We couldn't resist stopping here on our drive from New Mexico to El Paso, Texas. The large pistachio statue definitely draws you in! We really enjoyed the tour of the pistachio farm, since we'd never seen a pistachio tree before! Of course, my favorite part was sampling all the yummy pistachios afterwards, especially the sweet ones! FYI, the farm is called PistachioLand, and it's in Alamogordo, New Mexico. I hope you enjoy watching this! Please subscribe to our YouTube Channel, NVAFAM, so we may share more of our videos with you. Thanks!!
New Mexico artist Ra Paulette Carves Caves
New Mexico artist Ra Paulette Carves Caves
In the American state of New Mexico has a unique man-made caves. Sculptor Ra Paulette digs caves in New Mexico’s sandstone cliffs. Not plain, rocky, boring ones. Ra’s caves are smooth, artistic, and breathtakingly beautiful, and he creates them with his bare hands. His only tools – a pickaxe and a wheelbarrow. 67-year-old Ra came into his unusual profession after years of being a drifter. He was a college dropout, was discharged from the U.S. Navy and hitchhiked his way across America. He worked on a series of odd jobs – postal employee, security guard, janitor, and even farmer and one point.
His first cave he dug in 1987 and named it Heart Chamber. It was located on public lands Arroyo Seco. Cave immediately became a major local landmark, and the flow of tourists was just endless. After some time, Ra Paulet even had to bury it because it was dug without precautions. Soon Ra was commissioned to create caves by art-lovers, but he ran into several creative differences because of his approach towards the work. He doesn’t like taking instructions or following a brief. Instead, he waits for inspiration to hit him.
Ra Paulette tried several times to hire workers to speed up the construction process, but he says they couldn’t ‘get’ his cave digging process. Sculptor sure that this work should be felt, this craft can not be learned. The only assistant Ra Paulet - his faithful dog. Cave of Ra - this is the common name for the 14 caves, created by one person in 25 years. On their director Jeffrey Caroff made the film Cavedigger, which is expected to nominate for an Oscar Award. Jeffrey long studied man-made caves, and came to the conclusion that these creations in the spirit of Gaudi architecture deserve to get international fame.
Incidentally, one of the caves Ra Paulet now offered for sale. The Tree of human kindness is located between the cities of Santa Fe and Taos, and is estimated at a whopping $ - $ 995 000.
