We stop at Show Low for gas and Barry calls his friends, Bob and Karen Baker, who live in Alpine. They arrange to meet for lunch at Springerville at a local eating establishment. After a nice visit and a good meal of local cooking, we head on to New Mexico.
Continuing east on US Highway 60, we leave Arizona and pass through Pie Town, New Mexico - world famous (in Pie Town). As we had recently finished lunch, we didn't stop for pie. Pie Town sits astride the Continental Divide, so once we passed it, we had left the Pacific side of the country and were on the Atlantic side. The difference is quite noticeable.
This area is quite desolate with many picturesque vistas, like this one with an old shack. We also passed the Very Large Array (VLA), the world's largest radio telescope. We were obviously involved in some sort of a serious discussion, so we forgot to take a picture of it.
