Day 167 Socorro, New Mexico - Baca and other legends

Socorro is a very old time from Spaniard days, bandits, cowboys, cowboy and range wars, and one tough sheriff who rode to Reserve past Datil and had a big shoot out with scores of Cowboys who had gotten a bit out of hand and castrated a man. The western most part of the Lincoln County wars if you will. Many things over land rights, human rights, nothing different than what the Akha look for.

I spent an hour or so in the Stage Door Grill at the quaint downtown, where the atmosphere is good and the music not too loud. Everyone was having fun.

On the way across the hills though I noticed that a small rural bar was closed. Someone told me the State of New Mexico won't issue new liquor licenses so the small ones get bought out and moved to town, the license that is, leaving many small towns with no watering hole, no beer, and no place for people to go late at night. You won't find this in Oregon. So basically the government of New Mexico is killing its own small towns in a de facto PROHIBITION. Really DUMB.

Socorro has a small town plaza, many old buildings, an old church and New Mexico Tech, a mining and engineering school

The author forgot the illegal alien destroying

and posing a threat to this nation besides gov't. Mexican/Hispanic illegals are everywhere. American should own the gun and start protecting the border. Don't let the illegal from Mexico sneaky into the border.
