WELCOME TO RIX WEST!!

HELLO! I'm Señor Reek. I've been a Westerner since 1952. After six years in Belize, I returned to Tombstone, Arizona (where I began) and saw the West in a new way. This is my renewed vision of the AMERICAN WEST... a very personal cornucopia of impressions, ideas and links to the West as I now perceive it. Many other people are seeing the West with new eyes -- it is a "Phenomenon" -- a world-wide search for something that we lost somewhere between childhood and "grown up" (whatever that is).

I benefit from feedback just as anyone does. If you have any kind of reaction to the content here, I hope you will let me know what you think. I promise not to tell without your permission!

Geography ¿What do you mean West? Here's what I mean.

The Cowboy Way This is as much a frame of mind as a way of life. I've always been a "crypto-cowboy."

Bad Guys or Good Guys? The charm of the old west was being able to tell the difference. Or could we???
