Yesterday I decided to get out and do something. I went to Fort Bowie (Boo-ee). The first picture here says it is a leisurely 1 1/2 mile hike to the old Fort. What they forgot to mention was it was all uphill. I finally made it up there and it was worth the hike. Lots of history here. This was Apache country and they did not take kindly to intruders. If any of you get to this area and feel like a little exercise this is a great place to visit. The Fort was established to protect the Apache spring. A reliable source of water for the Butterfield Stagecoach and travelers heading west. This route was chosen because of the water supply in the middle of the desert. If anyone wants more info on this Fort go to, http://www.nps.gov/fobo/index.htm

Until next time God Bless you all.
