Another exciting day in Arizona!

I needed to buy some fly spray as there are millions of flys in Bowie and no fly spray at the 4 small stores here. That meant a trip to the big city! Wilcox about 30 miles down the road. They even have a MacDonalds and a Burger King! After doing a search on google I found out that they have the Rex Allen museum there also! It seems he was born there. That made it a "must take" trip.

Here we are standing in front of Koko's grave. For those of you uneducated, Koko was Rex's horse.

His horse, Koko, went everywhere with him.

For you younger guys, Rex used to narrate many of the world of disney weekly tv shows.
