Wagon Train Tracker: Geographic references include - 1. Presence of a Kiowa war party, which would indicate the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles; 2. The train being is "five miles out of Fort Stockton," which is on the Butterfield Stage Route through west-central Texas; 3. The train is referenced as passing Steeple Rock New Mexico, on the Texas-New Mexico line, and 4. The depicted terrain is Southwestern desert. Assuming some continuity with previous episodes, that Fort Stockton is a stand-in for Fort Bowie, Arizona, and that the Kiowa are trying their luck in Apache country, the train has turned off Cooke's Route of the Santa Fe Trail near Steeple Rock, crossed the N.M.-Az. line, and is now in eastern Arizona on the Gila Trail approaching Fort Bowie.
Maybe the first time that Flint McCullough calls his horse by name ... Stormy.
