One of our first trips, thanks to activity directors Jim and Anne, was to visit Wilcox, AZ, founded in 1880, as a whistlestop on the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Wilcox is best known as the birthplace of Rex Allen, a western movie star during the 1950's. It's also known as the hometown of country-western singer Tanya Tucker. One of the members of our Wilcox tour (a fellow RV'r), had lived in the Wilcox area and "tut-tutted" the memory of Tanya in Wilcox. Apparently Tanya felt she was a diva during high school and acted accordingly. Perhaps Tanya had the last laugh - all the way to the bank.
We toured the Rex Allen museum. Rex Allen, known as the "Arizona Cowboy" starred in numerous movies, and wrote many songs.
Here are some photos from our Wilcox AZ trip:
