The author waits about eight paragraphs to give us a clue as to where this place is located.

“The author waits about eight paragraphs to give us a clue as to where this place is located.”

Not enough of a clue for me... Is he talking about California?

Very poorly written article...

“Corruption plagued its construction...”

A public sector construction project marred by corruption? The more things change...

The San Pedro is in Southern Arizona. Just west of Tombstone.

Mr. RR and I went there with Jeep group a few months ago.

Very interesting and quite impressive.

We’re “Snowbirds” but nearly ready to buy a home near Ft. Huachuca. Love Arizona!

Correct. Not far from Sierra Vista way down Arizona way.

What is little known as well is the fact that German agents operating from Mexico made several attempts to rile up Americans and Mexicans along the border during WW1.

Love the Farmer’s market in Sierra Vista on Thursdays. Some really great food items and hand made crafts.

Sadly, we won’t be there until after the holidays. For three months. Would love to meet you.

I just remember one strip club, a bowling alley, a speed trap in Huachuca City, a small rodeo, a fair number of trailer parks, lots and lots of great dirt bike trails, and history of the fort itself.

Loved that place!

Apache in paragraph 4 was a help.

Except that traditionally Apache tribes could be found in many places in the American Southwest and Northern Mexico.
