In lieu of...



Rather than get out there, get on the road, on the trail and expend all that energy,
here's a memento from the print archive. Rare in that they've gotten damaged in heat.
Cochise's Stronghold. Twenty years ago, give or take. SLR images. Not as coloratura.
Scanned and jiggered. Mementos of a goodly trek on a hot day about this time of year.



When I was a kid, there was a TV series about Cochise, "Broken Arrow" I think.
May well have derived from movie. The miners and settlers moving in. Trouble.
Suppose one might describe it as fabulist; it was empathetic of Native perspective.
Ironic as I sit in a coffee place full of so-called Third World peoples. Is that passé?
