Taos Earthship Tour

Taos Earthship Tour

2021-11-2408:55

This past summer we stayed in an earthship in a utopian-style community just north of Taos, New Mexico. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime visit to an innovative housing structure built completely off-the-grid. We stayed there for three nights, and I made a video tour of the home.
