Having met just moments before, we found ourselves welcomed guests of Raimundo, a man who valued his peaceful, simple lifestyle on the banks of the Amazon river.

Owners/builders Charlie Weiss and Katharine Lawrence work in the kitchen while their daughter Julia plays with Jenny on radiant heated concrete floors in their new certified LEED platinum home. Captured rain water is heated with the help of a groundwater heat pump, powered by photovoltaic solar panels, which then flows through tubes in the floor. The concrete is partially made with fly ash, a byproduct of coal burning.

We towed the '49M frrom the AZ border back to Pasadena with a Ford F550 Stake-bed truck we rented from Galpin Studio Rentals. Between the truck & the trailer, we were pushing 50' of vehicle.
