Monday, May 19

Yesterday being Sunday, we attended the Community Presbyterian Church in Springerville. After the service, Carol and I washed clothes at the local laundromat. We were getting ready to move to Pie Town, New Mexico the next day. About 9:30 am we pulled out of the Bear Claw RV Park in Eagar, Arizona and headed for Pie Town.

We thought we would be doing some dry camping as there was no advertised RV parks in the area. We lucked out and came to the Pie Town RV Park right in Pie Town.

As we were setting up, I noticed two bikers across the road having lunch. They were Forrest and David, two students from Lubbock, Texas who attended Texas Tech University. They were biking the Continental Divide Trail that just happens to run along side our RV park. The Continental Divide Trail runs from the border of Mexico in New Mexico to the border of Canada in Montana. It is 3200 miles long. We told them what we were up to, took photos and wished them good luck as they bicycled north to Canada. About Pie Town, in the early 1920's, Mr Clyde Norman, who liked to bake, began making dried apple pies and began selling them along Highway 60. It became a tradition to buy pies at Pie Town and now they celebrate the annual Pie Town Pie Festival on the second Saturday in September. Stay tuned ......
