VIDEO: Visit Madrid, New Mexico on the Turquoise Trail with me
The National Scenic Byway, Turquoise Trail, is a 70-mile mountain back road connecting Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Dotted by ghost towns being restored by writers, artists and other urban refugees, turquoise, gold, silver, tin, lead and coal have been mined here. The ex-coal-mining town of Madrid is quaint with weathered houses and old company stores being repaired and turned into boutiques and galleries. The movie Wild Hogs was filmed here and the Mineshaft Tavern is a great place to eat.

Sunshine Mine - Shaft and Dump
Out hiking with my CDV-700b to the abandoned Sunshine Mine. It is an abandonded Uranium mine on the eastern face of the Vermilion Cliffs in northern Arizona. Nothing was too terribly hot, but it was pretty neat to see the counter click. Of course things were left where they were found.
This is the actual mine site, unlike the first video. Nothing was too terribly hot here either, except for some ore in the dumper. I got no hits at all when I lowered the probe into the mine shaft.

The Turquoise Trail in High Dynamic Range, New Mexico
These are pictures I took along the Turquoise Trail, a scenic drive near Albuquerque that is dotted with near-ghost towns and other picturesque things. I used my Canon EOS 40D SLR and a Canon L-series 24-105mm lens to take them. I produced the high dynamic range shots using Photomatix Pro 3.0, and I touched the pictures up with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0. The song in the background is Natalie Merchant's Motherland.

The Aztec Brewing Company (Aztec Brewery) was a regional brewery founded in Mexicali, Mexico in 1921, which moved to San Diego, California in 1933. It closed in 1953. It is the only brewing company ever to move from Mexico to the United States.
Baja California
In 1921, San Diego businessmen Edward P. Baker and Herbert Jaffe, and brewing engineer William H. Strouse were instrumental in starting Cervecera Azteca, SA, in Mexicali, the capital city of the Mexican state of Baja California. It was a smart business plan since beginning in 1920, no alcohol was being manufactured, sold or transported in the United States due to Prohibition. Mexicali is located on the border with good railroad links that allowed easy distribution of the product throughout Mexico and easy importation of raw materials such as grain and hops. The brewery was destroyed by an earthquake and fire a few years later, but was soon rebuilt at the same site.
During the 1920s, Aztec competed with Cerveceria Mexicali (Mexicali Brewery) for market share in Baja California, especially in Tijuana where thirsty Americans were flocking during Prohibition. Aztec's flagship brew was Famous A.B.C. Beer, a pale lager. The company also brewed a dark beer. A.B.C. Beer won a gold medal at the Exposición Ibero-Americana (Ibero-American Exposition of 1929) in Seville, Spain. This led to the inclusion of the word Famous in the name.
Strouse was later chief engineer for the San Diego Brewing Company, and was also instrumental in founding, with Alberto V. Aldrete Sr., the Tecate Tecate Brewery in Tecate, Mexico in 1943. Strouse later returned to the Aztec Brewery until his death in 1944.
Move to San Diego
With the end of Prohibition in 1933, a new brewery was built in San Diego and the entire operation moved to the new location soon afterward. The new brewery was located at 2301 Main St. in the Barrio Logan neighborhood. The building was a former plant for the Savage Tire Company. Approximately $450,000 was spent in purchasing the property and remodeling the building so that it could be converted into a brewery. It had a 100,000 barrel per year capacity and a refrigerated cellar with capacity for 4,000 barrels. It had one of the largest bottling plants of its kind at the time with a system that could wash, rinse, sterilize and fill 100 bottles per minute. Although the main brand, A.B.C., was kept, it was reformulated by then brewmaster A. Bud Daniels. The word Supreme was added to the label. Former workers of the company later stated that the reformulation was necessary and that the original beer had a skunky flavor. The label continued to refer to the beer as Famous even though it was no longer the same recipe that had won the gold medal.
Photographs of the brewery show a modern facility with a very colorful tap room, known as the Rathskeller. Murals on the wall depict various scenes of Aztecs. The logo of the company itself was the Aztec sundial. The Rathskeller murals were painted by renowned Spanish artist Jose Moya del Piño. Coincidentally, among other works by Moya are murals painted for the Acme Brewing Company of San Francisco.
Aztec Brewing grew quickly. Within three months, it went from seventeenth place to third place in sales west of the Rocky Mountains. Aztec began producing beer in cans in 1936. The early conetop cans from the 1930s and 1940s are highly sought after by collectors today, as are other products from the company. Edward Baker also purchased a stake in the Arizona Brewing Company of Phoenix in 1934, but the two companies were never merged.
Aztec quickly had a new rival -- the San Diego Brewing Company, which had originally opened in 1897, but had closed in 1920 for the duration of Prohibition. It reopened in 1935 and continued until 1942. The brewery should not be confused with the current San Diego Brewing Company brewpub that opened in the 1990s.
Keeping track of the number of beer brands Aztec made is difficult, because with a minimum order of 500 cases, the company would put any label on its bottles for the customer. But some of the surviving examples of labels for the company include A.B.C., A.B.C. Bock, A.B.C. Old Ale, A.B.C. Old Stout, A.B.C. Pale Ale, Associated, Aztec, Black Eagle, Bulldog, Casa Mia, Del Mar Pale Ale, Dutch Lunch, Excel, Great Seal, Majestic, Old Coin, Old Dutch Ale, Red Spot, and Spotlight. A.B.C. Beer's primary markets were San Diego, Los Angeles, Long Beach, and parts of Arizona. However, the beer was also distributed to New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon and Hawaii as well.
