Wishing Wells, Mountain Lions and the Old Wire Road. Tuesday, June 06, 2006. Rising early we were quickly packed and ready for th. Our first stop was easy to find.

It is now located just within the east. Also known as the Wilson C.

2000 miles of motorcycling The Butterfield Trail. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. The Great Butterfield Stage Expedition. How did we happen to get here? In the late winter of 2003 my brother Paul found himself on a spur of the moment quest to visit and explore Organ Pipe National Park.

Paul snapped this odd picture that is quite eerie and reminded us both of the dead outlaws they stood up after the bank robberies and photographed.

Wherein we pass out of Oklahoma and make a scheduled stop for Big Red in Plano, Texas. Friday, June 23, 2006. We rose early and hit the road in semi-darkness. Required considerable leg work on location and a good bit of luck. One could easily spend half a day visiting with locals looking for the right person to guide you to a remote ruin. As I mentioned the stations themselves are well described for Oklahoma. It was written by Muriel H.

To White City, NM. The Real Deal, Wildlife Hazards, Blazing Heat, Running on Fumes, and Amongst the Hoards under a Bat-filled Sky. Sunday, July 23, 2006. Once again we rose in the dark. I remember some distinct confusion trying to read the GPS but after turning around in the middle of the highway we found the road out of town.
