I decided to stay in Benson until the Olympics are over. I have cable TV in the
park where I am staying and they carry all three NBC stations. YIPEE!!!
So during my stay I visited the Cochise Stronghold National Park, the Amerind
Museum, and Fort Huachuca. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend visiting Fort Hauchuca. It is rich in the history of the original Buffalo Soldiers who served their country. This fort was also used as a detention camp for German prisoners of war. When they showed movies on saturday night the white German pisoners sat up front and the black soldiers sat in the back.
