INDIAN CLIFFS RANCH & COCHISE STRONGHOLD

These are two stops we made on our way to SanDiego.  The ranch and steak house are off the main road about 20 miles east of El Paso.  We had been told about it by another RVer and this was our second time there.  We were able to camp overnight in their parking lot, tour the movie sets, have a great dinner and enjoy a nice sunset in the desert.  Our next stop was in eastern Arizona and, as the photo caption says, we thought we would see more than a bunch of rocks.  But, that was where Cochise held off the calvary for many moons.  We had another overnight in Yuma and arrived in SD on June 1st.

A FAIRLY LONG RIDE ON GRAVEL TO SEE SOME ROCKS. WE THOUGHT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING MORE THAN A SIGN
