Quartzsite, Benson, Cochise Stronghold, Arizona - January 2007

Our Trailer set up in the desert on BLM land close to Quartzsite. |
 |
The sunsets were beautiful. |
 |
Three Saguaro cactus looking out our side window of the trailer |
 |
It got down to 18 F. this night |
 |
The Butterfield RV Resort in Benson a very nice trailer court with many amenities including wi-fi |
 |
The most increditable amenity this astronomical observatory with 16" Meade telescope and full time astronomer on duty. The court owner wanted something different to draw people in. I will sure stop here again anytime I am in the area. We ended up staying 3 nights here. |
 |
Stan drove us to this park on a rough dirt gravel road. |
 |
The actual strong hold is 5 miles up this trail. Next time I want to get here early and do this 5 mile hike to see the actual strong hold. |
 |
It rugged country in this area. |
 |
It was surprisingly green. |
 |
The US armies after Cochise probably wanted no part of apprehending him on this route.! |
 |
Nice rock formations. |
 |
Next we did a long grueling drive on a dirt gravel road to Tombstone. We had lunch at this fun saloon. |
 |
It cost money to see the actual site so we skipped it. They had a re-enactment every day at noon. We were all cold so we headed home via Fort Huachuca. |
