Hello from Minnesota! Cleaning out space, letting go of stuff that no longer fits on my journey. Reflecting on my travels, as an integrating two spirited, son, & father, handling things that used to baffle me, neither living in the past nor closing the door on it, blessed by the support of my emerging family of choice. Thanks to the ancestors, those who share this journey. Peace love joy. Wichozani! Mitakuye Oyasin, “we are all related” “Wir sind all Verwanten” “nous sommes tous relies.”

Elephant Butte Dam - Rio Grande built ca 1914
Here is the dam north of T or C where Becky directed me to see the CCC Camp buildings that a group hopes to rehab soon. Also there is a big building with windows where we shared a beverage and food may be served. Fun architecture. According to Becky, traffic stopped on the bridge after 911. Per Wikipedia "At the time of its construction, the dam was the largest irrigation dam ever built with the exception of the Nile dam at Assouan, Egypt.The name "Elephant Butte" refers to a volcanic core similar to Devils Tower in Wyoming. It is now an island in the lake. The butte was said to have the shape of an elephant."
