This sounds exciting and I have it in my calendar. How come there is no address? Of at least I couldn’t find one to put it in my calendar.
I’ve got a request for some address details out to Charmayne. Will update soon… I think it is in Mata Ortiz village in Mexico.
Charmayne confirmed Mata Ortiz, Mexico. I updated the post with coordinates.
