I used to live in and almost bought a house (still wish i did) in the strange little town where this occurred. Crestone is the perfect place for a bizarre cult... a few decades ago, a wealthy businessman or his widow or something decided to turn the place into a spiritual center, and gave out grants of 100 acres to any religious organization who wanted to move to the area. As a result, in this town of about 2000 people around an hour from any larger town (Alamosa, Salida, both barely large enough for a hospital or walmart) has dozens of religious organizations ranging from Zen and Tibetan Buddhist to Hindu to Shumei, Christians, and a bunch of one-off "New Age" type groups, including this one, Love Has Won. It makes the town very... unique.
Is that why the crocodile place is in that area?
Ha ha. No, that's a different story...
I always wanted to visit when leaving/returning to NM but never did 🐊
