This is a piece from my Tucson days. It is also the story that prompted Katherine and I to take a research trip through Redington Pass in the Rincon Mountains. That trail is enough of a pain in the ass in an air conditioned car with all-wheel drive that I shudder to think what it was like on horseback in the 1800s. And yes, Agua Caliente is also a very real place. I used to live a stone's throw from it, and went there often to write.
