Anytime you see a movie about stagecoaches in AZ, NM, West TX, it probably the Butterfield Stage-line.
Was just looking at a route map.
As The Butterfield headed across W TX for El Paso, it crossed the Pecos at the - are you kidding me - Horse Head Crossing.
After El Paso, it cut North up the Rio Grande to Las Cruces?
No! Cruces wasn't there then.
Mesilla was the big place up that way then.
Mesilla is now a quaint village just S of Cruces.
You can still stop at the same building where the stage stopped.
And I don't ask what time do we get to Lordsburg?
I might ask do you have any specials today?
It's the La Posta restaurant .
Do yourself a favor and go there sometime!
