We are arriving, a day earlier into Enchanted, along the way we will fuel up on diesel and propane One problem, we will arrives after the propane fuel station will close. Susan located a station, that is open until 5pm, so we will first stop at Ortega's Propane Services. Ortega’s is located at 3914 2nd St NW. Propane is currently selling for $2.00 a gallon. A far cry from $3.50. I keep telling people, propane is pure profit from refiners.
Anyway, Susan will drive first to Vaughn, then we will switch.
“ History
Vaughn was established in the early 20th century as a Southern Pacific Railroad town. The town's importance grew when a second railroad, the Eastern Railway of New Mexico (an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe line from Belen to Clovis), was completed in 1907 with Vaughn as a division point. A large two-story depot, a roundhouse, and a Harvey House hotel were constructed shortly thereafter. Vaughn was incorporated in 1919 and in 1920 had a population of 888, according to the U.S. census.
The town was one of the shooting scenes for Bobbie Jo and the Outlaw starring Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter.
The Guadalupe County Sheriff's Department, New Mexico Rangers,[3] the New Mexico State Police and Motor Transportation Police and the Vaughn Police Department[4] (presently a one-man agency) all patrol the town, which, according to the United States Homeland Security, is a known drug-smuggling route. “
