History
The Guadalupe Moutains served the buffalo soldiers of the 1800's,
and were one of the harshest areas to live in. Scarce water, Indian
raids, and such, kept the area a frontier for many years. A mail
station for the Butterfield Overland Mail System was built nearby
to refresh horses and their masters. Known for having some of the
best conditions on the route, many would fill up on food and water
before heading out a few hours later.
