Two hundred years after the Notre Dame cathedral was built, "Montezuma's castle" was built sometime in the early 1300s by a native indian tribe that lived and farmed in the area. Nearby, there is a well that produces 1.5 million gallons of water a day. It flows up from the ground and down the creek. So, imagine these people living in the desert, the West is wild and they hunt, gather and farm corn, beans and cotton...After thinking about this scenario for awhile, I decided I would have liked the job to gather salt. 10 miles away is a salt deposit that the natives would use and trade to other tribes around the southwest. Imagine how valuable the salt was in the middle of the desert. I would have filled my pockets.
This sycamore tree and me were meant to be.
