Chili Capital Of The World!!
I love Red and Green Chili,it is one of my favorite foods.
When in New Mexico we always stock up on Chili,there is none in Missouri except what I grow.
We always enjoy going through the Historic Ghost Town of Nutt on the way to Deming.
The Last Cattle Shipment by train was done there a long while back.
Being in what was the Old Farmers/Ranchers CO-OP in the area I thought to post a little History.
Originally established as Santa Barbara in 1851, Apache raids drove the settlers away until 1853 when nearby Fort Thorn was established. Abandoned again in 1860 after the fort closed, it was re-occupied in 1875 and re-named for General Edward Hatch, then Commander of the New Mexico Military District.
Elevation: 4,055 feet.
If you have never tried Green Chili you are missing something great so grab a few while here,when in season.
Some of the stores have it all the time you will just have to check around.
HAPPY.......................................WAYMARKING
