Pie Town, NM

Tuesday, September 25, 2018

Today we move from Socorro, NM to Pie Town, NM. Pie Town is known for its pies.  We plan to have our share.

 This is our last view from the Socorro rodeo grounds.  Socorro is home of the mining college.  I imagine they spend study time there.

This field of old windmills was next to the café below. Looks like a graveyard for windmills.

Pie-O-Neer is another pie café. However as you can tell, it is closed.

 We headed to the Gatherin' Place to have pie. This was the only café open in Pie Town. Apparently they practice cooperative capitalism. When one café is open the others close. In other words, they trade off days being open. Interesting!

This truck was parked our front of The Gatherin' Place.

This is where the pies are made. Both ladies are making different batches of pies.

 Here are the current pies ready to sell. As you can see they are smaller pies and most people share the pie eating the whole pie. The board below lists all the pies they make. However they don't make all of them all the time.  And they don't make sweet potato peach pie at all!

This is the small eating area with several tables that seat about 8 people. Most people share a table.

This is the NM apple pie which has green chilies and pine nuts in it. Of course we had to have ice cream with it. We also bought a regular apple pie and a very berry pie to take with us.

The following pictures are of our progressing sunset this evening.

It is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow morning.  
     We leave for Show Low, AZ in the morning.
