I'm working on a second book edition called: "The Green Earth" about natural rights, drug laws, and energy, with a Foreword by Dr. Andrew Weil. I'm also forming a Sacred Land Trust to protect sacred lands for vision quests, writer's and artists sanctuaries: www.sacredlandtrust.org.

I have a small WWOOF farm in New Mexico that focuses on sustainable building projects and organic farming.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My Dad died last fall. He taught wood shop in Oregon for 23 years, and I needed a place to stay when I went to his funeral....So I joined!

My farm is at 7400 feet, so winters are cold. We get a lot of sunshine, but spring is pretty windy.
