Jack:  "Folks run you off?"
Ennis:   (stiff) "No. They run themselves off. One curve in the road in 43 miles, and they miss it.  Killed them both."     [screenplay]

Ennis had a sheepish grin on his face when he said: "You may be a sinner, but I ain't yet had the opportunity."

"T" is trailhead

“The sheep trucks and horse trailers unloaded at the trailhead and a bandy-legged Basque showed Ennis how to pack the mules, two packs and a riding load on each animal ring-lashed with double diamonds and secured with half hitches, telling him, 'Don't never order soup.'”  Short story.   :)
Now bring me that horizon.♥We have our heading.

Juarez:  Jack makes his way through the crowded streets, entering the seedier part of the town.  ......   Hookers stand in doorways enticing Passersby. The sidewalks are crowded with military men, vendors[screenplay]

"Alma Jr. looks around the nearly empty trailer, a homage to plains-life minimalism:  a TV sits on a plastic milk crate in front of a battered recliner, the only other furniture besides the chipped Formica table, two wobbly chairs, and a fridge and tiny stove."  [screenplay]

"X" is xerophilous

Despite all the rain, snow, hail, etc. on the mountain, it was a xerophilous environment (tolerant of xeric [dry] conditions).

Twenty yards away, Two Chilean sheepherders are looking just as glum at the huge mixed herd, gesturing wildly.  [screenplay]
