No Trespassing
As you drive the backroads around Mesilla, through the 18,000+ acres of pecans in the county, you will see these little signs every where:
Why such concern about trees? They are not going to be damaged by people walking under them.
Here’s the reason:

Ironworks Unlimited
The best place in the Mesilla Valley to get custom metal work.
You won’t find Ironworks Unlimited near the plaza. It’s on a side road, but people who have been here awhile know where to find it. The owner does the work himself, and has been at this location since 1972.

We’ve had about 20 hours of slow rain. It’s welcome and very pleasant, but comes at a bad time for local farmers.

Freight Wagon
Before mechanical transport, hundreds of thousands of tons of goods were transported to Mesilla using freight wagons like this.
One early pioneer account, for example, relates an instance when 400 freight wagons were used to transport $100,000 worth of stores to Mesilla. These wagons were pulled by horses or mules.

Tree Regal
I think this is the oldest tree in Mesilla, perhaps the oldest in the valley. Why it’s growing in regal isolation on the edge of town, I do not know. Nor do I know how old it is.
This tree has lived so long, survived so much — it should be recognized as the majestic living thing it is and protected. Vivat rex!
