If not you'll see some really cool props then. The performance was not something I would have chosen without knowing someone in the cast. There is a spring performance planned so I'm looking forward to that one. The staff is all volunteers and the program is free to the kids. So support them if you can. Kids need more arts and theater and face to face social activities I believe this and Valley of the Moon is encouraging this.

Place seems to attract hippy types who hang around, reminds me of a 60's cult commune. Staffed by volunteers in bad costumes, they take you around a dusty acre of land built by a strange "gnome type man" who lived on vitamins & canned milk. He put up some concrete structures, sort of like a poor man's fairy land. Lighting is good, rather creepy with all the hippy types though. Put it on your quirky to do list. Be sure to tell someone you are going there or go with a group of pals. Be careful not to step on dead gnomes.

She took me here with another dogwalker and I've been coming here daily ever since. There isn't much at the actual kill site other than a plaque describing how Ed Lehner in 1952, landowner of this site, who found butchering tools along with tapir, mammoth, bison and horse bones dating 11,000 years ago when Clovis people lived here. There's nothing here now but the plaque on a high spot in the area. It's now used mostly for other things: It's a great place to set up a telescope on a new moon, or a camera tripod for those gorgeous sun rises and sunsets, and moon rises and moon sets. You have a panoramic view of the Huachuca Mountains. About 50 meters east is a trail that locals use for their dogs and horses. It is a perimeter trail that loops around the field. Birders at the nearby San Pedro B&B use this trail along the river early in the mourning and near dusk to spot birds of all kinds. There are harriers that fly over the field looking for a meal. I would not suggest anyone come here after dusk, as it's six miles from the border with Mexico.

He wasn't with me on this trip so I decided to surprise him with a tale of my adventures to the Rattlesnake Bridge (this bridge has a rattlesnake tail...yes I sent him the picture to accompany the tale). I found this spot on Yelp and it was an adventure finding it in person. There is no parking next to it, so I had to park at Iron Horse park and walk around until I found an entrance to it. Note: If you're coming from that side, the ramp to the bridge is closer to the main street. I think my favorite part of the bridge was the rattlesnake tail at the end. It's fun to be able to say I've been inside a snake.

This place was started by a couple from New England, and they opened up their home for birders that wanted to check out birds. I am an avid birder, and I've been birding for 5 years now and really enjoy this activity. Birders are also a great group of people that really love to geek out about birds. Every time we are here, we manage to chat with some of the volunteers that work here, and each time, I get so much knowledge about birds! This last time we were here, the volunteer told us about a thick billed kingbird and its partner that were here with building their nest. They had set up a scope pointed right at a naked branch, and we got to see the pair! How exciting! This was also a new species for me! Yea! There are plenty of chairs that are put out on the front lawn, and you can sit and watch birds all day. Tons of different feeders are out here for the birds, but I saw plenty of squirrels also eating from the feeders. There is a suet feeder, and I got to see many nuthatches here, which are one of my favorite birds! There is a port of potty here for your use, but note that the house itself is closed to the public. They have a box filled with bird reference books and binoculars you can borrow. There is also a board set up and dates noted of which birds have frequented recently. It's definitely worth a visit if you enjoy birds, and even if you're not a bird enthusiast, this little sanctuary is quite calming, and the bird songs will make you happy and chipper!
