Geocache Description:


Placed for the Everyone’s Hiding in Santa Fe event.

The road leads to a famous Santa Fe restaurant, which has a heritage that is rich in history and regional influences. Before its incarnation as a restaurant in the 1960s, the main house was the centerpiece of a group of houses on Canyon Road known as the McComb Compound.

There, in the earlier part of the 20th century, when Santa Fe was a long way from the rest of the world, movie stars, industrialists, and socialites could rent a house in relative seclusion. Eventually, the Houghtons acquired the main house and converted it into a restaurant.

It was their decision to bring in designer Alexander Girard, who gave the restaurant its distinctive look and who is best remembered for his generous donation of more than 106,000 pieces to Santa Fe's International Folk Art Museum.

BYOP and a tweezers could be helpful.
