We took a trip out west in 2006 and parts of it were on the old Butterfield Trail that the stage coaches used to take between Missouri and San Francisco. The 2,800-mile run was made in 25 days - guaranteed. I know this because alongside the modern highway there are rest stops giving details of the old trail and at one of them they had a facsimile of the stage coach ticket - on the back of the ticket in large letters was printed "Please do not discuss politics or religion".
