Construction, nap on the road side, construction, volcano, then another story in the 'economic' down turn in many of our communities.
The Capulin Country Store is kind of like a 'Cracker Barrel' junior, very nice, clean, lots of stuff to buy. Bathrooms clean and staff very friendly. Jim and Jenny Pugh (pictured) have a very nice 'diamond in the rough' with this place.
The problem, their restaurant, which has been in operation since the 50's was recently shut down by the NM Environment Department because their lot is not large enough for their septic system. Talk about a travesty. Not even considered to be grandfathered in (like most places) or provided with options such as some of the newer microbial systems.
While I was there a young couple from Colorado came in wanting to eat in the restaurant and they had to be turned 10 miles down the road to another community. The restaurant area is very nice and ready to go. So it isn't always the economy that can decimate a community, sometimes its our own state. Although I don't have all the details, if you are an engineer or perhaps a lawyer, you may have a new client with these folks... 575-278-3900
