ATDDTA (8) McElmo's World (214:7-11)

[Keith]

"DURING THE RIDE back up to Telluride, among tablelands and canons  
and red-rock debris, past the stone farmhouses and fruit orchards and  
Mormon spreads of the McElmo, below ruins haunted by an ancient  
people whose name no one knew, circular towers and cliffside towns  
abandoned centuries ago for reasons no one would speak of." (214:7-11)
