Ruins of Fort Bowie
Fort Bowie is located near Apache Pass in southeastern Arizona. It’s an isolated, historical trip back in time to the old frontier, where wagons were filled with settlers moving from the west and the prairies were flourishing with wildflowers.
For years, the Apache Indians tolerated Americans, Mexicans, and Spaniards who traveled through the Apache Pass in order to quench their thirst at Apache springs.
However, when their was an influx of settlers during the 19th century and the acquisition of land and property was of the utmost importance, this disrupted the region and the way of life for the Native Americans.

I think I saw a John Wayne film called Apache Springs. Pretty cool that it was real.

It's a pretty remote area. I would love to go there. It reminds me of the frontier.
