As Kadizzle stepped out of the Earth Module in the dark to view the star filled sky a feminine voice asked "Is that you Mike?". Kadizzle always thought God was a man, but he answered yes. God turned out to be Ruth out having coffee looking at the stars at 6 A.M. Morning was going to break soon at the Senior Center parking lot with the sun coming over the Chirichua Mountains we had hiked two days ago. The Seniors invited us in last night for spaghetti and pie. The Commander picked up some local history from the natives.
The hike yesterday too us into Chochice's Stronghold. It was easy to see how Cochise could control the area with a few key lookouts. The climb to the pass was gentle and senic. Rodger's GPS showed the exact location of the stronghold. Unfortunately for Rodger there was nothing there after he made the strenuous hike to the GPS point. From below it appeared there may have been a cave.
Today the band moves 25 miles south to a birding area. Hopefully more free camping and then on to the west side of the Stronghold.
