Late last week I took a couple days of comp time. Friday, Hillary and I headed down to the San Luis Valley. We climbed around Great Sand Dunes National Park, drove through the valley dividing the Sangre de Cristos and the San Juan Mountains, and experienced the untold beauty of that harsh, wild land. We stopped at a sanctuary for alligators, a small tilapia farm where they used ex-pet gators to eat their dead fish. We relaxed at Valley View Hot Springs in small pools of warm water looking out over the valley at sunset. We drove through the incredible landscape in a car I rented back here in Denver and soaked up the natural beauty of this state. As the earth teeters on collapse, its incredible to take the time to look at places that have not been radically destroyed by suburbanization, industrial economies, and the violence of human beings. Funny, we needed to use a car to do it.
