El Mitote

El Mitote - translates as where people meet. In this case where people used to meet. This looks like a cafe and maybe a small motel (Looks like just two rooms.) Whatever, it's not been open for a while.

 

It's said Horse Springs got it's name from some soldiers who when on their way to Ft. Tularosa from Socorro lost a horse and on the way back found it here. There is a natural spring here about 1/2 a mile west of the settlement.
