Hello Jim, I have lived in Carlsbad 33 years now and did not know of the Butterfield stage ruins between Carlsbad and Artesia until I saw your older video. My question to you sir, Is the road to this place require a high clearance vehicle or can I drive in a car?
I would not advise driving to it in a car. You have to drive about a mile on very rough dirt road. Also when I used to go down to it there was a few places mesquite bushes would scratch the sides of my 2006 Ford Ranger. I would not even try with my full size 2015 truck I have now. Hiking from the highway should be ok for a half way fit person.
