We spent yesterday exploring cowboy country. Many of the wild tales of the Old West, both real and fictionalized, took place in Cochise County, Arizona, and we decided it was time to introduce Greg and Jan White  to this historic corner of Arizona.

Sometimes I feel that way when I hear about another fulltime RVer who has come off the road and hung up the keys. […]
