Mescal
The Mescal region was used in a few episodes, notably, twelve's "The
Power Of Life and Death" and fourteen's "The Hunter". One filmed cut is
seen in twelve's "The Power Of Life and Death" where the posse rides up
and have lunch at the adobe barracks in act one. Also, in a scene with Lou Frizzell and another actor at a town set was filmed at Mescal. The last episode it was
featured in, was fourteen's "The Hunter". The scene where Tom Skerritt
dismounts from his horse at the adobe barracks and shoots down the
Mexican and than pets his dog was filmed at Mescal. The very last scene
in the climax of "The Hunter" where Michael runs into the deserted town
was also filmed at Mescal, truly, a masterpiece on film. Finally, segments of thirteen's "The Grand Swing" were filmed in Mescal at the town set.
