MISSION TRAIL II We have wanted to do this for a long time. These caches represent a significant amount of history in or around El Paso. It is important to us to put out caches that are relevant not only to us but others as well. First established in the 17th and 18th centuries, three historic Spanish missions provide a link to El Paso's colonial past. All three are among the oldest continually active missions in the country, and warrant a visit for their architectural and historic merit. MISSION SOCORRO Heading southeast on Socorro Road for 3 miles takes you to Mission Socorro (tel. 915/859-7718) established in 1682, 1 day after Mission Ysleta. The original adobe chapel (1692) was washed away by a flood in the 1740s, rebuilt, destroyed again in 1829, and finally replaced in 1843 by the current restored structure. Bring your own writing implement.
