Dennis Weaver

Of Gunsmoke and McCloud fame talks about his Earthship

Find out where North is

As an earthship relies solely on the Sun for heating energy it was important to check which way was North.

I quickly ran up to the site with a compass.

Damn I need to get fit.. thats a long way up in the Swazi Sun

Here is a view of Plot2 from Plot 1, This will be the site of a larger build at a later date.

Here is a Vid taken from Plot2 before I got totally out of breath

just followed the instrauctions emailed by Kirsten..

We were met at the visitors centre and immediately taken to the latest Phoenix build by Mike and Kirsten

The Phoenix is still being constructed, however unlike the Sheraton I was not about to complain..

This place is awsome..

Ok we are finally all assembled, myself and father still reeling from a bit of jetlag and Sibo get down to Hertz to find a suitable green car to take the Earthship community in Taos.. NOT..

I blame it on my dad.. looks like he is the driver here but then I remember its left hand drive..

Wheres that copy of photoshop..

Seriously though it was quite economical and was manufactured close to source..

Plus I wanted to drive a Ford Mustang convertible.

Simply dreadful.. seriously ..

It gets the wind in your hair but handles like a pig and has the acceleration of a Land Rover so I felt very at home.
