A friend of mine and Terry's (.25-06) was of the belief that the Butterfield Stage crossed north of the Rincon Mountains over the Redington Road and came up the San Pedro to Benson. He always pointed out a bit of ruins when we passed. Redington is nowhere near Cienega Creek. Time to do some research. Stage and freight roads zig zagged across AZ, connecting mines, forts, settlements and transportation hubs. One of the roads I take north of Morristown was once the stage line from Morristown to Wickenburg. Another I use south of Mayer, Bull Rd., was the road used to freight gold ore from Crown King to Big Bug prior to the railroad. https://tucson.com/news/local/minetales/mine-tales-new-roads-stage-stations-served-miners/article_da12c06a-b5a0-561a-96d0-ca0b64640449.amp.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The more I explore this great state the more I realize there's so much more to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
