Head to Hatch, New Mexico, and indulge in the state's celebrated culinary delight at the Hatch Chile Festival. If you crave the distinctive, flavorful heat of this special chile, this festival is a must-attend event.
Hatch chiles are varieties of chile peppers that are commercially grown in the Hatch Valley of southern New Mexico. These chiles are then designated as "Hatch chiles."
Extending from Arrey, New Mexico, along the Rio Grande River to Tonuco Mountain, southeast of Hatch, and into the Rincon area, the Hatch Valley is renowned for its fertile soil and ideal climate that cultivate the region's flavorful chilies. This same soil and climate also support the thriving commercial production of New Mexico onions, pecans, and other crops in the Hatch Valley.

About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead. The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...
I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately. Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
