Geocache Description:

Along Route 66.  Muggle area.


The Butterfield Overland Company opened a mail line from St. Louis to San Francisco.  The route crossed the southern part of Arizona from Tucson to Yuma.  The company operated from 1858 to 1861.  This restaurant features a stagecoach on the roof to commemorate the old mail and stagecoach routes in Arizona.  It is open in the evenings.  Good old West experience.  Butterfield's motto was "Remember boys, nothing on God's earth must stop the United States mail."  The Fort Apache Post Office Stagecoach served Holbrook from 1890-1899.
