We drove from Fort Hauchuca to see Cochise's Stronghold. From this spot he and his men could see the soldiers from any Fort coming after them. They would just wait a few days for the soldiers to make the trip and then attack them. The soldiers use to try to follow Cochise and his men back into the stronghold but they soon learned that those that did never came out alive.
After 4 days in the area it was time to move on to Las Cruces, NM to visit a cousin I haven't seen in over 35 years. The trip there was nice and the weather was cool. Just before we got into town we saw lots of water in creeks and ponds along the road. When we got to Las Cruces I ask my cousin if they had a lot of rain recently. He said "do you remember when it rained 40 days and 40 nights, well when that happened we got about 1/4 of an inch of rain.
