For my 30th Birthday, I am heading out West to Santa Fe, NM to see my family and to explore more of my family roots both as a descendant of Spanish Nobility, but, more importantly, a descendant of Hopi and Keres Pueblo. Not only do I wish to connect with my living family but also with my ancestors as far back as I may be able to find them.

I also wish to connect with nature in my native land. There will be a considerable amount of hiking. I will camp as much as possible and I hope to get a fishing liscense for each state I cross through so as to more or less live off the land on the way.

I will for sure be stopping in Montgomery, AL to see Hank William's grave and see as much of Hank's life in Montgomery as I can. I hope to one day use the knowledge I acquire in a documentary about Hank.

This trip is important to me because its my 30th birthday and I want to spend it doing what I was born to do: travel and be one with history and nature.
