Ya'll Come on Down ta Pie Town!
White chocolate cherry pie, if the curiosity is killin' ya. Made by The Gatherin' Place in Pie Town, New Mexico – a town of three pie shops on US 60, and that's mostly all.
Well, there's also an RV park that allows tents. Hikers on the Continental Divide Trail like stay there to rest, catch up on internet, and for a shower – and ta get mail and grub in town. That's pretty cool. But it does mean you might sit down by ripe hikers at a cafe. I did last year. It added a certain earthy perfume ta my eggs!
Oh, #vanlife folks: They got free campin' in the woodsy park on the south side with water and shitters. Decent Verizon signal, too.
Most famous place in town is the Pie-O-Neer pie shop. Someone even made a documentary about it!
But The Gatherin' Place is Vanholio's preferred pie stop. Good food and free WiFi, too. They used to have killer barbecue, but no more, I lament.
Pie Town has been a center for badass pies for almost 100 years. In 1924, some guy name a Clyde Norman started a pie shop in this tiny ranching hamlet out middle a nowhere. Word got around, and folks started coming for pie from hundreds a miles. So they changed the name from whatever the hell it was before 'cause it was good for business. Today, the tradition continues.
They got an annual pie festival, too. This year it's September 8, 2018. Might have the county rodeo same time. Not sure.
super amazing yum i want some
