Geocache Description:

This series is a tribute to John Wayne's film career. We have enjoyed MANY hours watching him in both western and military films.

Micro cache, bring your own pencil. Watch out for desert critters.

Stagecoach is a 1939 American Western film directed by John Ford, starring Claire Trevor and John Wayne in his breakthrough role. The screenplay, written by Dudley Nichols and Ben Hecht, is an adaptation of "The Stage to Lordsburg". The film follows a group of strangers riding on a stagecoach through dangerous Apache territory. Although Ford had made many Westerns in the silent film era, he had never previously directed a sound Western between 1929 and 1939. Stagecoach was the first of many Westerns that Ford shot using Monument Valley in the American Southwest on the Arizona-Utah border, as a location, many of which also starred John Wayne. In Stagecoach the director skillfully blended shots of Monument Valley with shots filmed at Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, California and other locations. The release date of Stagecoach was February 15, 1939 and had a running time of 96 min.
