What a wonderful trip that must have been!
I too, had this weird cosmic experience the single time I visited. So much so that I'm currently working with an architect out of Santa Fe designing a contemporary home that incorporates Chacoan elements of architecture.
Forget hantavirus, I've got Chaco Fever!
It has been a really interesting project.
(All doorways will be regular sized. Ha-ha)
I am just so excited to meet other FReepers who know and love Chaco, i.e., have got the "Chaco Fever." I rarely, if ever, meet anyone who knows what the heck it is.
This has been nice. I hope to return there someday.
