CANYON DREAMS

Dreams have a way of slipping into reality. It wasn't long ago that my guest facility was only a dream, now it is a partially completed project with a business plan. Soon we will have fine accomodations for anyone wanting to escape from the confines of their mundane existence. The school is a good place for artists and writers to concentrate their creative energies. We have classroom space for seminars and workshops. I hope to become a little-known destination spot for the truely adventurous traveler. If I can find someone who wants to do a restaurant with me, then The Rusty Egg, a cafe of uncommon cuisine, will someday serve, not only the guests, but oilfield and ranching community. I am looking toward becoming an archaeo-ecotourist mecca, and perhaps having a couple of archaeological field schools here every summer. I'd like to teach a grass identification class and maybe start a cottonwood tree farm. I'd like to network with teachers and trainers that want to use the facility for pro-social workshops and seminars. With 10,000 square feet under our roof, anything could happen. Maybe you have an idea?

I think that what ever eventually coalesces from the universe, I would most like to help people find the hero within themselves, to have them leave the canyon feeling stronger, more competent, and ready to make a difference in the world out there. That's a pretty grandiose dream!
