| In far west Texas, east of El Paso, is a state historic site called Hueco Tanks. It is large outcroppings of rough stone, hundreds of feet high in the Chihuahuan desert. Natural hollows, or “huecos” as they are called in Spanish, catch and store rainwater. For over ten thousand years, these sheltered cisterns have meant survival for humans. |
| At one hueco, the water can be reached only by laying down on your belly and scooting forward enough to be able to stretch down and dip out water. Countless generations of humans rubbing their bodies over the rough stone have worn the edge of the hueco as smooth as polished marble. Their story of the effort to reach the deep calm waters is also our story. |
