Fondly remembered as Fort "We-GOT-Ya" there is an old story that goes if you go AWOL there, they don't even start to look for you for five days because they can still see you in the desert. I can't remember the name of the other post, near Kileen, Texas where this joke is even more appropriate. That place is so big, it has gates in three Texas counties. But Huachuca is certainly dusty and isolated.

But Huachuca is certainly dusty and isolated.

Not so much any more. 70 miles from Tucson and it's all Expressway and divided 4-lane. The stretch from Tucson to the HWY 90 is building up fast. More veggitation is growing no make that abounding so the dust issue is pretty much gone.

Come back and take a look it's not what you may be remembering.
