100 years of NM

[hank4elk]

100 years today we finally became a state. 1st place visited & settled by Euro's.
Now we find folks footprints that predate Clovis Man.

Manana,I'll celebrate manana. Actually Green Chili Stew on the menu today and picking up pork belly for elk sausage & burger. I'm blending in well after 13 years.

Congratulations and congratulations.

110 for AZ on Feb 14---if--my math is correct

Hank, you did not mention the menu for your companion

Hank, those footprints might be mine, the time frame seems about right, a least I "feel" that old

Your math is spot on, Az gal!

So if my history is correct. Didn't Arizona and New Mexico join the union in the same year?

100 years ago Route 66 was just a two track Hank.

100 years ago Route 66 was just a two track Hank.

The only road through NM was 60,the Pieway as we call it. Gravel at 1st then paved during the 20's.
The rest were all 2 tracks. Half the roads in this county are still just 2 tracks. Many on old native trails.

They became states a few years different. NM was a territory til then. Post Mexican American War.
Funny how most of the west was NM. Check a map from the Louisiana Purchase. Spanish lands.
Tejas was still just eastern NM.

Bright and clear. Could hit 50. The roads will be fun later on , the daily thaw.

He has his bowl of kibble. It will sit full till the evening. He is a gentleman after all.
He is happy his elk legs have been found in the snow. He has a few now on the bark & such around the splitting area to choose from.
He'll get some pork out of the stew & taters,but I know the result after the green chili's...he still will eat it.
Everything else gets shared. He always gets a bite and his bowls are filled fresh everyday. My promise to him when we met.

The daily thaw is the worst. Things take forever to dry out.

No trip today and I'm not leaving til I can get my bacon...lol
Rio insisted on going out and tried to come right back in. I have rugs on rugs. Poor little guy gets adobe bricks between the toes.

Out of every state I have ever lived in, and there's been alot, NM by far has the best food on the planet. Man I miss me some red chili enchiladas.

Northern New Mexican food proved to me the huge difference between it and Tex Mex...both delicious, but entirely different.

Green is the queen!, Us Az. boy's like it hot!

 

[JohnCushman]

New Mexico is cool again now that my ex doesn't live there. Now Nevada sucks

 

[hank4elk]

Rio had 2 small bowls and is rolled up next to me. Hope he doesn't fark.

He approved of my addition of WI sweet corn,yum.
