Is that near Crestone, CO? Isn't Crestone some holy city? Isn't the area you're referring to some sacred native american land tied to some prophecy? I've driven through some of those places down there in CO and it's like there's some kind of earth-center or climate-center there... by center I mean the force is strong there.

I believe crestone also has an open-air crematorium for a burial ceremony(funeral pyre) that several members have expressed interest in.

This is not a drugs discussion, if people want to have a drugs discussion then they should create a new topic and discuss it there...

OK let's do it. Here, I'll make it official:
BY THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL I OFFICIALLY APPROVE OF A TEMPLE. I'd also like to add that as an unofficial jedi and unofficial member of totjo I approve of building a temple there.

I think we should allow drugs in the temple... but only if you bring enough for everyone!!!

This has kind of sprung up around the quoted text so you can talk about any points related to this (and similar drug posts) here:

It is a little over an hour away from Crestone, but that is pretty close in Valley terms lol. It is a really magnificent area.

There is Hopi prophecy that says the Ant people that live in the Earth took the Hopi down into their tunnels at the end of the last age. After the destruction had passed they reemerged,and supposedly they are supposed to come again.

Hey man that's perfect! I saw some non-profit foundation in Crestone called the Manitou Institute which allegedly gives land grants of like 20 acres to religious organizations to build a retreat an/or temple. I bet if someone from TOTJO contacted them they could get the land free. And then we could all come hang with you at your cabin until the temple is setup. I bet we could have the temple doors open by the end of next week if we put our minds to it.
