West Texas - Polvo & Dama De Azul

Duke's ranch "Polvo" includes about 60 acres of land adjoining the Big Bend Ranch State Park. The property has several houses with the Rio Grande as the backyard, a stones throw from Mexico. El Polvo has a rich history - it's an old outpost from the days of Pancho Villa, including the hidden remnants of a mission from the 1600's and home of the legend of La Dama de Azul.

La Dama de Azul (Lady in Blue) is known for evangelizing the Jumano tribes in the 1600's by supernaturally appearing to them. In the visions, she instructed the tribesmen to locate priests in New Mexico to help build a missions throughout the region. She orchestrated the community without ever leaving Spain. They say it's the first ever bi-location on record, and she was also known to levitate during prayer. Her body remains uncorrupted even to this day.

Duke's slowly transforming this spot into a destination for culture, camping, desert exploration and rambling circles of song. Perhaps even a visit from the Lady herself. He says dreams are super potent at Polvo. I have been so wiped out since arriving, I haven't remembered any.
