The name "Mountainair" is derived from the cool summer breezes flowing from the nearby Manzanos. It is a farming and ranching community with its post office opening in 1903 and is still in operation. Mountainair is the highest point on the old AT & SF Railroad's southern transcontinental route and is at the summit of Abo Pass. It came about because of the developement of the railroad around 1900.
Nearby are the ancient Indian ruins of Abo, Quarai and Gran Quivira.
This "Spirit" cache is placed here near the remains of those Mountainair pioneers, settlers, homesteaders, railroaders, farmers and ranchers whose efforts kept this community going.
We solicit the volunteer efforts of cachers like yourselves to place a "Spirit" cache at or near a cemetery of your choosing.
