Dinner and a Drive: A couple slices of Pie Town, New Mexico
Silver and gold miner Clyde Norman struck it rich in the mid-1920s, but it wasn't precious metals that put money in his pocket – it was pies made from dried apples. Around 1922, Norman, a World War I veteran, filed a claim to mine silver and gold along a cattle trail known as "The Driveway."
