August 2007: along the Route 66


After long searches and strenuous trip through the White Sands NM (left above), the Route 66 (right above),
being continuously in danger because of rattlesnakes (below, in a resting area), I was eventually able to find the Geronimo's grave at Fort Still (right below). Legends (that I like very much) say Geronimo's people dug up his body the night he was buried and took him home to the Chiricahuas Mountains. His grave is hidden in Arizona. Some say the body of his favorite pony is buried in his grave at Fort Sill. Therefore, it seems that someone is not able to understand the contents of his closet...
