The Computer Museum of America displays post-WW2 personal tech items (love the 1970s and 1980s cases), astronaut and lunar lander are an awesome addition, and more Cray supercomputers than you can count. A 1990s Apple wristwatch (real watch, not electronic) on display runs and tells time backward!

Place looks like its for sale in early 2024, but the store and fudge shop were open and did not disappoint. 8 miles east of Alamogordo, the road covers a lot of elevation and was very scenic. Worth a detour from Alamogordo in my opinion. Plus the cherry cider is incredible.

We went to Johnson's Orchard in Bedford and found a Johnny Appleseed statue that looks identical to the one at the (closed) Johnny Appleseed restaurant in New Market. I haven't been past the restaurant in years, so I don't know if this is the exact same one that was outside the restaurant or an identical statue.

Although the sign is almost illegible, The Chick Inn is still in business. We were skeptical because it looks in pretty bad shape, but we decided to try it. The food was amazingly delicious. We had the sloppy joe, the loaded fries, and milkshakes (an orange and a pineapple). If we are ever back in the area, we will return to this place.

Several of these statues were made; some hold a giant doughnut instead of an apple. This one, if an original, looks well-preserved.
