We visited the home of a younger family who lives on the Mesa, which is a flat secluded land outside of Taos. What's amazing about most of the houses out here is that they're Earthships, which are houses that the landowners make completely out of recycled materials, be it bottles, cans, tires, etc. While theirs isn't the most tidy of an example, and not entirely finished, it's because these folks get flown all over the world to build beautiful renditions of these Earthships in unbelievably short amounts of time. These folks are the real deal. Secluded from regular civilization on a vast stretch of land miles outside of Taos, they live off the radar and due to their ability to build their own homes aren't susceptible to the normal costs and conditions of normal expenses. While this makes obtaining water, electricity, and other supplies harder to get, it makes their general style of life much more eccentric and valuable to them, and they choose this lifestyle over that of the norm unanimously.
