Like with the Navajo creation story of Coyote bringing the people up from the center of the earth that I related with my painting Coyote's Portal. They learned to honor the land and live off its sparse flora and fauna. Believe it or not there are deer, as well as various rodents, that live here.<BR/><BR/>The white man called it the Bad Lands but for the likes of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid this land was where you hid from the Texas Lone Rangers that tried to take the states of Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico as part of their own cattle spread.<BR/><BR/>Lots of history here. See my post on Y!360 about the book Haunted Highways; Ghost Towns of New Mexico.JBinford-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293248281473648182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912640518439940624.post-90525836500015912072007-10-30T01:08:00.000-06:002007-10-30T01:08:00.000-06:00This really is extraordinary landscape.
