Pie Town to Socorro, NM



I can write more tonight since I have wifi on my laptop. I've been doing it on my cell phone lately and don't write much. Pie Town was a quick stop - not as good as the segment we had seen on Sunday Morning News show a while back about Pie Town. We tried the New Mexican Apple Pie - it had green chile and pinon nuts. Sounds weird but was very good. The antenna  is VLA Radio Telescope. All of a sudden on the lonely highway, 27 of these appear. VLA stands for Very Large Array. Long story short, they are huge satellites that view outer space. Google it if you need to know more! We are back in jeans and sweatshirts since we are in the mountains again. Beautiful scenery - the peaks were snow covered today. Headed towards pueblos and Santa Fe.

 Comments from Eldon: I'm glad to be back in New Mexico again. People, which are few and far between, wave on the back roads we have been driving on. On a whole, the people are the friendliest and laid back. I never met a piece of pie I didn't like but I've liked some pies I've met better than today's. A little disappointing but still tasty. The Continental Divide crossing was pleasant driving.

Comments from Harry: I agree, the Continental Divide drive today was so much smoother than the Chiricahua Mountains - I NEVER want to go back there. I miss hanging with the kids in Tempe - that was fun! Thanks for the walks and brushing, Daniel.
