Today, Ginny and I traveled the Turquoise Trail and visited the little village of Madrid, New Mexico. It's been six years since I last visited. The village used to be a unique town to visit. A lot of the little shops have closed and now at least a dozen marijuana dispensaries have taken over the town. Once a historic coal mining town and ghost town, Madrid is now a creative community with over 40 shops and galleries, several restaurants, a spa, and a museum. A few miles north is the quaint village of Cerrillos, which includes a state park with hiking paths and horseback riding. If you have ever watched the movie "Wild Hogs" starring Tim Allen, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, and William H. Macy, you would remember Maggie's Dinner. Maggie's Diner was built especially for the movie. Maggie's Diner is now open as a retail store selling various souvenirs.
