Bowie AZ - March 27 and 28

Leaving Roswell, NM, headed for Bowie, AZ, here are some pics along the way. 

That’s a pistachio. Lots and lots of Pistachios farms along the way. 

Passed White Sands National Park. 

Interesting murals near a missile range. 

Had to go through border patrol going into Arizona. 

We rolled into Bowie (pronounced Booie, like the knife). Setup in the Alaskan RV Park. Not the most glamorous RV spot BUT the owner is a Country and Western star, Judy Hall. She built the RV park when her band was playing gigs in Tucson. She also built an airstrip for them to fly in. 

After setting up and talking with Judy for awhile, we headed to Fort Bowie. 

Fort Bowie and Apache Pass were central to US Army operations against the Chiricahua (pronounced Cheer a cow a) Apaches for control of the region. 

Lots of history to read as we hiked. 

This is what we saw at the end of the 3-mile hike, 


Another day in.. great hike.
