9-18-06 In The Beginning


This property was offered to me about a year ago in "Trust" that I would do something meaningful with it and it is my intention to do so. During Indian Market we went out to see what there was to see with great surprise. Warren Cullar stands on "Ambush Rock" located at the scenic turn-out of New Mexico's Hwy 14, a national historic bi-way called the Turquoise Trail. Located about 20 miles South of Santa Fe, the Rocks we stand on are known locally as "The Garden of the Gods". Warren, our official artifact finder, picks up a 1939 wheat penny just below his foot after taking this picture. On the same day the HWY dept. installed a bronze plaque commemorating the creativity of the WPA on this road in 1939. This is the place!!
