On our drive to Lordsburg we went thru Hatch NM. As we passed through I took these two pictures. The Hatch man and Sparky’s.
Hatch has world wide fame because of their Annual Chili Festival held on Labor Day weekend. The event draws an estimated 30,000 visitors from all over the world.
The Hatch New Mexico Chili Festival has a variety of activities, including fresh chile roasts, a parade, live music, food vendors, and competitions like a chili eating contest. They say the festival celebrates the unique flavors and cultural heritage of Hatch chiles. It began in 1971 to promote the region’s chile harvest.
The Lordsburg KOA. We’ve stayed here before on our travels.
While I was taking a picture of this old phone booth at the park, I was thinking……I’m taking a picture of this phone booth with my phone. Who would have thought ??
We arrived at our destination 2 days ahead of schedule. We drove a total of 149 miles from Lordsburg to Tucson with a grand total 2,170 miles for the whole trip. Good driving Dave.
The Raw Band played good dancing tunes.

I was to busy dancing to take pictures of the other ghosts, goblins, zombies, etc. It was good time had by all.
ROADS OF DISCOVERY
