Rearview Mirror: Walsh to Santa Fe

Thanks for the great story about Walsh and the Morrow's. I grew-up there (now living in Denver) and was in disbelief NPR did a story about it. I haven't lived there in over 11 years and still knew everyone who you were talking to by the sound of their voices. I even used to work with the "what in the world have you got there?" guy for a Summer when I was in High School.. ha! I'm sure there was plenty of staring and people wondering what was going on while you were there..

David Gilkey also took some amazing photos as always-- great work!

Great story and fantastic photos- you captured the essence of Walsh perfectly, right down to the angry purple sky of an approaching summer thunderstorm!
My dad says he's getting calls from friends and ex-Walshites he hasn't heard from in years.
There's a certain comfort about Walsh- like seeing an old friend who hasn't changed in decades. It seems in the "big city" life changes too fast- next week that empty pasture will be a strip mall and that hillside will sprout houses. But Walsh and communities like it seem to retain the same look and feel over the years. Being caught in time isn't always a bad thing.
Rick looks the same as he did 20 years ago. Looks like he might be working on that same toothpick.
