There’s a short article in the Taos News this week about a fundraiser for the “Taos Mesa Animal Sanctuary”. This is being organized by the same person who is behind the fraudulent quiet title suit on a 230 lot parcel of Great Southwestern land and, guess what mesa people, the proposed location for that animal sanctuary is on the that same land which nobody really owns. I can’t help but suspect that the money collected will go to the considerable legal bills the quiet title suit must have incurred at this point.
Since the last time I wrote about this when the Taos News covered it, the attorney for Golden River filed a motion to dismiss the suit which failed at a hearing and another was filed right afterwards. He basically just refiles anything he loses on with an obvious legal strategy to exhaust the other side financially rather than having the case being judged by its merits. The self dismissal attempt was just a way of avoiding having to go through discovery and present title documents to the court. If Golden River has to present a legitimate chain of title to the court, it won’t be able to in spite of a couple of deeds on it filed on the land. The fictitious chain of title that Golden River has tried to create only goes back to 2004 with a couple of very questionable deeds to its owner that weren’t even registered till last year. There is no record of the Great Southwestern Land Co. having transferred the title on this land to anyone ever. Great Southwestern was out of business by the early 1980s and any legitimate chain of title to that land would start sometime between 1962 and 1980 when Great Southwestern was operating and its owner were still alive. This suit is nothing but an absurd charade and both Golden River’s attorney and the county assessors know it. The fact that none of the deeds filed resulted in the land being assessed either to Golden River or its owner speaks for itself, in spite of what she may say to the Taos News about it.
And so how would you like to have an animal shelter located next to your property on abandoned property without being informed of it nor being asked if you consent to it? While taking care of abandoned animals is a worthy cause, doing it this way is not. The report on the ground from the neighbors is that no trespassing signs are being posted all over this parcel of green land and people are being harassed for using the road through it. All the roads in the Great Southwestern subdivisions are public easements filed along with the subdivision plat maps and anyone has the right to use any of them. As lax as subdivision regulations were in the early 1960s, they weren’t so lax as to allow lots to be sold without access to them and owning the surrounding land does not give you the right to block the road.

Many landowners at Tres Orejas are very upset with this
proposed Animal Sanctuary on the fragile ecosystem of
the Mesa. We oppose anyone who wants to steal the
land as we have all paid appropriate taxes and land
itself. The land would not support what would be required.
There is a lawsuit w the Eighth Circuit Court opposing
her land grab. Not against animals, but Solare’s
attempt is outrageous.
Some of the neighbors to the land in the quiet title suit were on KCEI radio yesterday. I spoke briefly a couple of times. Link below. We’re the “Tres Orejas Quiet Title” link in the middle.
