dishtowels, paper towels, dish-washing supplies, and aluminum foil.

and mustard. In the cupboards you will find coffee, tea, cold cereal, oatmeal, raisins, crackers, several

packages of soup, spaghetti, and such staples as oil, vinegar, honey, sugar,

and spices. Bring your own fresh produce, meats, and special dietary needs.

Bath, Bed, and Laundry

The bathroom cabinet is stocked with towels, facecloths, soap, tissues, and a first-aid kit.

The bedrooms are supplied with sheets, pillows, quilts, and blankets (down comforter during the chilly months).

We provide window fans during the summer months.

The laundry room at the GWH has a washer and a dryer, and is equipped with laundry detergent and bleach.

Entertainment

There is no television reception at either House, but a VCR and videotapes on birding

and other natural history topics (plus a couple of cowboy movies), and an extensive and growing library

of field guides, books about Southwestern flora, fauna, history, and culture, and some mindless novels

provide a pleasant substitute to the evening news. Several games and puzzles are on the bookshelf as

well. The closest source of a local newspaper is the Rodeo Grocery, in Rodeo, New Mexico, fifteen miles

from here. USA Today is available at the Portal Store.

Gasoline

Gas is available in San Simon, Arizona, and Animas and Lordsburg, New Mexico. Please plan accordingly. We do not keep gas on hand. Rule of thumb is to gas up when down to a quarter tank no matter where you are.
