This is a very cool place to visit
America’s newest national park is rock solid!
Chiricahua is officially our 64th national park. Welcome to the "Wonderland of Rocks."
ALT Lightning strikes beneath dark storm clouds over the rocky landscape of Chiricahua. Green vegetation surrounds clusters of towering rock formations, with a pink glow along the distant horizon.

The Spaniards were haunted by rumors of lost conquistadors wandering the deserts of the basin and range, perhaps enslaved by the local Indians.
The source of this legend may have been sightings of Ute braves who (unusual for Native Americans) grew full beards.
Just started this book about a 1776 expedition by two Franciscan friars across the Colorado plateau.
They were trying to find an overland route from Santa Fe to the mission in Monterey California.

RIP, Airman.
The Air Force airman who fell during the pregame rappel at the Alamodome Saturday night has died.
He was with the 6th Combat Training Squadron, Detachment 2, the unit at JBSA-Camp Bullis that trains Tactical Air Control Party airmen. Those are the guys who go out with soldiers and Marines and call in air support from the ground.
Four of them were coming down from the rafters before UTSA played Navy at the Salute to Armed Forces & Veterans game. Per the Express-News, partway down he slid down the rope out of control and hit the field. SAFD took him to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. A Nellis AFB spokesperson confirmed he died.
The Air Force hasn't released his name. The incident is under investigation.
He showed up to honor the people who serve and gave his life doing it. Rest easy, Airman.
Keep his family and his unit in your prayers.
