Cochise Stronghold and Willcox, AZ

Thursday morning we had Breakfast in the Club House in Saguaro SKP Park.The food and friendship were awesome. After walking the dogs and other routine things, we headed to Willcox, AZ. While on the road we decided to stop at the "Cochise Stronghold".

Thanks for the tour through the stronghold. It brought back memories of our visit a few years ago. It is great to be able to visit places where history was made.
