Baseline Plan

I finally figured this out....I created a "baseline plan" via combination of an image from Google Earth and some powerpoint drawing techniques (you can click on it to expand the image).  Here it is.  Doesn't look like much now more detail will be added soon.  First and foremost, you need to be aware of what you have in existence before putting the intentional design together. I still need to figure out sun direction, hot and cool areas of the land (although I already know that the East part is hotter than the West due to the arroyo being in the West with lots of shade), wind patterns, plant species and water/rain patterns.  I am getting familiar with plant species in that area of Mexico and have figured out some but documentation is less intensive in English so I am still gathering my resources together.  

Keep in mind that I have committed the cardinal sin of showing you this map without putting North on the top. Sorry Jonathan, it's just the way we "see" the land currently.  

More soon.
