You never know what you are going to get when you enter a small town. We were pleasantly surprised at our surroundings when we went for a walk. For the little town of Pecos, which has under 13,000 people living in it, there was an incredible community centre with outdoor facilities which included a football/soccer field, batting cages, and a baseball diamond. Indoors there was an amazing gym, a huge pool, and a squash court.
There was also a little plaza with a plane and dedication to those who lost their lives in the wars the U.S. participated in.
Pecos is well known for delicious cantaloupes and its connection to the renowned character Pecos Bill. It is also widely recognized as the home of the world’s first rodeo which was July 4th, 1883.
