Check out these houses...

On their way home, Mom and Dad took a wrong turn and ended up in Taos.  They were ok with it because they like taking back roads.  So just outside of Taos they saw these houses called earthships.  Very interesting!  The houses are self sustaining...no utility bills. 

Mom has one word of advice:  don't take the road from Durango up to Grand Junction.  You go over an 11,000 ft pass with no guardrails.  Don't do it!
