In this video, we visit Cabello Lake State Park and Pie Town, New Mexico. I show you a sat view of both places and some on the ground footage in Pie Town.
Pie Town has a free "dry camping" campground and several little cafes the sell good home cooking and plenty of delicious pies! It made a great overnight location as we have begun our journey back west and north.
More info at this blog post - sweets.serious...
Had an excellent breakfast at the Gatherin Place cafe watching the days pies being made and loaded up on some 6" pies. I got the New Mexico Apple that contains some Hatch Green Chiles.

Looks like a quiet little town.
I’m a fan
NM clouds, OMG! You know, Socorro and then Pie Town are just a hop and a skip from the Bosque del Apache. This is truly a wonderful video and thank you very much. Aim to be there soon.
Pie Town is a hiker town. It's one of the first major stops on the CDT for thru-hikers. Here very soon that little town will be filled with thru-hikers. Very cool vibe with a the hikers in town.
Any place called pietown is a town I could get behind. About the time I think I'd like to boon-dock I see the places you go and I just don't think I could get myself to take my truck down those roads. Have fun and don't get a stomachache eating all those pies.
Great video. How is the new truck doing?
Awesome! It tows like a dream, lots of power and nice to ride in. :)
This has probably already been covered , but there is some very famous photos of Pie Town NM taken in 1940 by Russell Lee. A collection of Excellent color pictures called ‘A slice of America’ . I would think that is their claim to fame, and the pictures would be all over town. Sorry if this had already been brought up.
No, I never heard about that but was only in the one establishment. Cool.
always great to have sunshine. happy 1st. day of spring. thanks for sharing. safe healthy and joyful journeys ahead
Pie! Everyone loves pie. You are really exploring some out-of-the-way gems.
We are from Albuquerque and go to the Pie Festival every year. We love the pieoneer!the chocolate cream pie is to die for! Cute little town and beautiful drive out there!
Permanently closed one month ago.
Pies used to be my favorite thing to bake for my family! Beautiful big trees up in Pie Town👍
Thanks Ray, I truly enjoy your channel!
Thanks for this series, and you've added another bucket list item for us! THX for your efforts.
You changed direction to North-West, so soon will be go to home... Nice informative video.
Yep, got about another 6 weeks left. Thanks.
@@LoveYourRV 8 March we left Tucson for Rusty's RV, but due to the dust storm and strong wind finished our tough day Here.
goo.gl/maps/FLwR8oiExyp
Then took the direction to the East. After 5 days back to home . Our 4,5 month trip to West is finished.
Good spot for visiting White Sands
@@LoveYourRV Yes , it's free official stay overnight. Got it information from Ranger ( W.S )
Thanks for the tour
Thanks Ray hope to get there sometime and try out the pies
Now your in my neck of the woods. I live near Socorro in my motor home during the winter. I love that drive out route 60. And I LOVE pie!
We love pie!! In fact, my office celebrated "pie day" on March 14th. It was yummy!! Thanks for sharing Ray, happy trails!
If you haven’t visited Julian, CA, you might enjoy that as well sometime. There is a pie store in Julian. We had a delicious strawberry Rhubarb pie a few years ago when we were in the area.
I love your adventures. And being able to see your trip. I just got a 3500 Aisin yesterday and plan to start our own adventures soon. I love your driving videos and maybe you could show more driving and the adventure of getting to your next destination. Thanks for you letting us all in on your trip.
Awesome. :)
Thanks for bringing back fond memories. We owned a cabin in Overgaard, AZ (Hwy 260) and in late summer would head over to Pie Town for the festival. Great time and extremely crowded. Also, an interesting fact about the Hatch Chili growing season - the drier the season, the hotter the chili. And in dry years they are VERY hot. Enjoy the pies!!!
Cool!
Hello Ray, always look forward to your next video's. I Have question about your Ram and Cougar. Did you add spacers to axles on the Cougar to make it ride level with your Ram. I am asking the question because I to have Ram and fifth wheel and it sits low back
Thanks. :) No, I haven't changed anything but the hitch height adjustment. I'm a little nose high with about 6 inches bedrail clearance. Would like a little more for going off-road, so plan in the future to have the trailer raise a few inches by adding a subframe for the suspension. www.loveyourrv.com/new-ram-3500-truck-our-first-hookup-and-test-tow/ Cheers, Ray
Just outside of Springerville is our family summer getaway spot to escape the heat of the Valley. 👊👍😎
Ive been to Pie Town on my way from the Very Large Array, which was AMAZING!
What? You're not going to Bosque Del Apache national wild life refuge? :( Those are some big pinions!
I think most of the birds have left north, we saw plenty over at Whitewater Draw and didn't have to fight the crowds. ;)
Wish they had better camping options closer to Bosque Del Apache. At Whitewater Draw you can camp a few hundred yards from the playa and marsh.
We drove through Pie Town November 2017 on the way to South Rim Grand Canyon. We didn’t realize all the pie shops until we were almost through it, stopped at the last one and it was closed so we continued onto Flagstaff. The VLA was cool to see unexpectedl and later found out it was a film location for the movie Contact, with Jodie Foster.
This definitely will be one of our stops. Do you use Google earth to show your trip or another software? Thanks for the video.
I use Google maps in a browser with 3D and satellite view turned on. Cheers, Ray
@@LoveYourRV That is very cool. I never knew there was such a thing as a browser with 3D. I'll have to look into it. I'm sure it would be fun to watch some movies. Do you use a specific browser brand? Thanks
It's not a 3D browser, I mean 3D mode using the Google Maps website - ruclips.net/video/v_RGi3uqDb4/видео.html I use Chrome.
I'm headed towards Pie Town this Spring and plan to do a lot of camping in NM and short hikes on the Continental Divide Trail. Thank you for the $225 info on a state park pass. I can definitely make use of that. SP's are a good break from van life in that there is water, power, restrooms, showers, trash disposal, designated parking, etc. The high desert mountains have great weather.
Pie Town sounds like a place I'd love to stay in for a few days & gorge myself.
I think the large array is there to help E.T. phone home.
Love views along hwy 60.
Were you there on pie day, 3/14? My wife made 3 different pies for it. One meat for dinner and 2 for dessert.
No just missed it. :)
That was a high-priced cafe to be out in the boonies!!!
That's Hawaii prices, right there!
Wife's sister used to live in Show Low area, lots of places to explore. It is pretty through Salt River Canyon and across to Payson.
We were on that same road and went to Pie Town 2 weeks ago.
Hi, Ray. When you do a short, overnight stay like the one at the Jackson campground, do you unhook the truck from the 5th wheel?
Usually, I don't unhook for an overnight stay unless the site is really unlevel.
And who doesn’t like a good pie!!!
Is there any difference inside the cougar while it's hooked up to the truck? Im talking about stability while walking inside the RV. Do you do that often? You still need to use your jacks?
Not much difference that I can feel. I usually put down the rear stabilizer jacks and sometimes put the front down a little taking some weight. I usually only leave the truck hooked for overnight stays and if the ground isn't too unlevel.
Ray, when y'all come to the U.S. how long do you stay? Do you only spend time in the west?
We average around 5 1/2 months, mostly stay to the west of Texas, but have one-year the east coast, Florida and the Gulf coast. I really enjoy all the wide open spaces in the west. Love the coast and the desert and mountains.
I love homemade pies! Wish I were there.
Too cold to be staying at such high elevation places! They are much nicer in July.
Thank you for the video Ray! New Mexico looks like it has some pretty country. I will have to stop by Pie town on my way west next fall, I love a good pie!
I see a dent to the front of your slide-out. What happened, Ray?

@@LoveYourRV :(
Just off the main street is Toaster House, a place that CDT hikers and cyclists can stay for free as they pass through on their adventures.
Nice video Ray! We've driven through there a number of times going from Phoenix to NE. Good pie. Stay warm in Showlow!
I visited Pie Town last October. Great pies! However, I came from I40, past El Malpais and then followed Google's recommended route of Pie Town Rd. It had rained recently and it was a long white knuckle drive over washboard roads and slippery mud! I didn't arrive until after the cafes had closed and didn't know about the campground, so I was grateful to have the wide shoulder to park on for the night. Visit, but don't take that route! The Acoma Pueblo and El Malpais are worth a visit, too, if you're in the area.
How many miles do you have on that
7200 on the truck and around 60,000 on the trailer
Pie-o- Neer bakery business closed down permanently one month ago.
Sorry to hear
Hey Ray is there a limit on how many days you can camp free?
I'm not sure, it didn't seem to be monitored and I never saw any signs indicating the length of stay. I read there is 14 days BLM land a little further in.
Do you run into astronomy buffs in your travels?
Yes, Rusty's ranch in New Mexico is a dark sky RV park, no outside rig lights allowed, I was told quite a few RVing astronomy buffs stay there.

Yeah Ray, I live at 9k feet in Colorado and that "Bomb Cyclone" was pretty gnarly, however; having lived in Iceland for 2 years and North bay, Ontario for 3 years...I did not find it overly crazy (only had about 12" of snow in my neck of the woods...but that wind!). :-D
I love pies like Willy Wonka loves Chocolate. My favorite is 4 cherries cherry pie. Goto to Price Chopper in Kansas City. They bought the Tippin's Restaurant pie recipes. They make the best 4 cherries cherry pie you'll ever eat.
Hey Ray , a totally off topic question. Do you use grease on 5th wheel hitch or one of those plates and pro’s or cons...
The hitch has 3 zerk fittings for adding grease, the inside of the jaws gets a thin layer of lube, the pin box has a Teflon lube plate.
I've used the Teflon plates now for 8 years and never had an issue. Work great and no mess.
Love Your RV Yes I’m talking about those teflon plates. Cool , I know people use but I haven’t heard if anybody has had it fail. And not using it too long. You get a yr out of it? I like the part of not having all that grease all over plate. Seems that would attract dirt too. Thanks Ray.
The one I had on the old truck was on for around 7 years hardly wore. Replaced it because I got a new one with the new truck hitch
Love Your RV WOW. Holy cow..I’m sold.
We are planning on getting a large 5th wheel when we go south for the winter
The one we like at this point is 40 feet
Do you think we would have problems with that large of a trailer
I am a retired truck driver so the maneuvering isn’t a problem if I have the clearance this place looked open but thought I would ask
Thanks
Your choice of campsites would be more limited but there looked like a few that you could get into. Being dirt though things likely change with weather and how often then get a grader in there and trim back trees.
You guys should come down to Texas so Ann can photograph the wildflowers south of San Antonio. You see what I am talking about here on my website. The best it has been in 7-8 years. texaswildflowerphotos.com
California is also having a big year I hear. Texas gets some nice flowers, love the Blue Bonnets. 4 years ago we hit a great bloom down in Big Bend area - www.loveyourrv.com/rving-big-bend-ranch-state-park-in-texas/
Happy first day of spring :-) Did your dashcam footage not turn out? Would have been interesting to see the array and some of the drive.
Yay! I had a little bit in the video but it's pretty hard to see them, I think only one of the telescopes was visible, they are so spread out, like many miles
You're in the middle of nowhere, what happens if there is truck trouble ?
We have special RV roadside insurance they will tow both and truck and trailer up to 300 miles, we pay about 90 dollars a year for it. Had to use it last year with the old truck - www.loveyourrv.com/stranded-101-highway-northern-california/
If you have vehicle trouble it's very likely that a local will stop and see if you need help!
I am Native NMexican, just a heads up, plural of “Chili”, is, “Chili”. Not “Chilis”. Nice video though👍🏼
Thanks, I thought in New Mexico it was usually spelled Chile. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico_chile
Oh man! I thought Pie Town was nearer to the CO border. Dang it. Now I'll have to check that place out since I'm only just in Elephant Butte. Thanks, Ray! Would love to see the dashcam footage from Socorro to Pie Town but then again, it would spoil it for me. Happy trails.
Nice video. How long can you stay at that free campsite?
Not sure didn't see any signs that stated the length of stay
Better pies in Julian, CA. Rode through Pie Town on a motorcycle in a wind storm that blew the fronts off of several gas pumps.
Not so much fun..
Your full of it them dam maggot pies taste like they were baked in a sewer pond in Julian Ca.
What kind of mpg’s have you been averaging with that new Cummins?
Between 11 - 12 MPG towing and 18 - 20 unloaded. It has the 6-speed AISIN transmission with 3.42 rear end.
Nothing wrong with 11-12 plus tons of power. You did your self proud on that purchase. Be safe.
Tease! Showing pies that we cannot eat! Not fair. I hope that green chili apple pie wasn't as good as it sounds.
Pies, and establishments with bad pun-names. . . . what could be better???? :-)
Well, you didn’t share a picture of you food. Maybe you just made it up. Hehehehe how do you know that your 4 wheel drive works. Just saying, I learned the hard way, when on muddy roads that putting it in 4 High works better than getting stuck then putting it in 4 wheel when pulling a RV. Just saying. And if you put your wife in your videos you might get more likes. Nice video, good information
There was photo evidence of 4 pies!
Ok hehehe
The truck is so new I don't trust the 4WD yet as I haven't had a chance to use it too much. Don't want to have it break way out in the boonies. So avoiding using it unless a really have too.
This summer when home and close to the dealer for warranty, I plan to give it a good workout so I have more confidence in it. Cheers, Ray
