Lunch with Cochise


The Kadizzlites standing in Cochise's living room

Today Lord Kadizzle probably sat on the very rock Cochise often sat on and had lunch. Under a huge bolder that served as his home in the mountains he loved was a wonderful lunch spot. Not far away was where he signed his doom, and what was a worthless treaty. As we wandered around a maize of boulders Ruth discovered some petroglyphs. Behind another bolder Ruth discovered one of the scarce pottery pieces we found today.

The whole area looked like the classic setting for a western. It was easy to see how the area was a perfect home. In the mountains above one could find shelter, and game. Out on the prairie below it would have been easy to drive game into a box canyon.
