To the south, the Chiricahua Mountains.

Oh, did you see there's...

To the west, the Tucson Mountains.

On...

Trump's desk here pretty soon is

a national park to be put together in the Chiricahuas.

This incredible series of rocks.

And, um, he got them as well because they came from a guy, his came from a guy called Dave Hardy, who lived up the street from him, up the road.

If you've ever, ever been to Portal Road, you know it's a great herping road, but it's right in the Chiricahuas.

But Dave Hardy lived there, who was a, he was a doctor and he, he, he brought one.

He picked up a hypomi- hypomelanistic boa off a fence before coming back from, from, uh, from Panama, and that turned out to be hypomelanistic.

I woke up in a tent there when the desert was just... festooned with wildflowers in spring.

I've been in Arizona and the Chiricahua Mountains thinking I'm going to turn a corner and see Cochise and the Apache Kid.

I've gone on horseback rides in the In the Saguaro Cactus, I watched my girls.

I took them to a dude ranch a thousand years ago when they were little, and I watched them barrel race.

Chiricahua.

Yeah, Chiricahua Mountains out in south, southern Arizona.

Interesting fact, Geronimo fled there, remember? Uh-

That's right

Not at the end, not in the jail cell, not on the gallows, but in the years when the world he had been made for was still the world he was living in.

He is in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona sometime in the early 1880s.

He is with a group of Apache scouts, the men who worked for the army as guides and trackers, who knew this country as the back of their own hands, who could move through terrain that would defeat most soldiers with the ease of people who have been moving through it since childhood.

He is one of them and not one of them, the white man who speaks their language well enough to be trusted, who knows their country well enough to follow them without slowing them down.

He has been learning since he arrived in this country, and he will not stop learning as long as he is in it.

He watches the way they move, the specific economy of motion that comes from never wasting effort, the way they read the landscape not just for the trail they are following but for everything the landscape is saying about who has been here and when and in what direction they were going.

He watches, and he stores away what he sees with the same systematic attention he gives to language, adding to the accumulating knowledge that is his real education, the education that the Chiricahua Mountains are providing him and that no school could have provided.

He is twenty-two, twenty-three.
