History
The San Antonio-El Paso Road met with and crossed Arroyo Escondido, 16.26 miles west of the place called Leaving of Pecos on the Pecos River and 8.58 miles east of Escondido Spring 30°51′31″N 102°33′32″W also on the creek. Both these places were watering and resting places for travelers on the route to Comanche Springs and for the stagecoaches of the San Antonio-San Diego Mail Line and other lines.[2]

gollark: Routing is at least not too complex if you have a bunch of devices in fixed positions and are okay with manually configuring the layout, it's basically just pathfinding.
gollark: The naive approach used by rednet and current jnet does sort of *work*, but it doesn't really scale well to complex setups.
gollark: The hard part would be sane routing. Which is really hard.
