On our way to the Grand Canyon we stop at a little place for gas and snacks. Look at the little place call The Tackle Shop flying the American Flag. A little American business out in the middle of no where proudly flying the American flag.
You know the old saying, want to buy beach front property in the desert? Well what about a boat business in the desert? As I was at Elephant Butte, New Mexico I notice another business proudly flying their American flag. there in the middle of vast miles of New Mexico’s terrain ( desert is what it looks like to me) sits a small boat business.
Boating is popular at the Elephant Butte reservoir so somebody had had to start a business for boat repairs and marine shop. See the flag proudly flying at this business?
An Inspiration quote from Michael Jordan
“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.” –Michael Jordan, NBA Legendary Basketball MVP
From an article from Forbes and contributor Richard Harroch.
While visiting my son in Texas. He took us to beautiful New Mexico where I spotted this American Flag at Plaza Realty. We were headed to Elephant Butte State Park in Sierra County, New Mexico. Plaza Realty is located in Elephant Butte where they serve as a reality firm for Sierra County in New Mexico. When you drive up to this mini plaza you are in the middle of no where, but what a beautiful area. Elephant Butte Park is just off Warm Spring Boulevard. The park has a beautiful huge lake which ia a reservoir created by the Rio Grande. A major advantage to this Park is that you drive right onto the beach with your jeep or truck. This gives you the benefit of setting up camp for just the day or overnight. Setting up camp allows you can enjoy all that the reservoir has offer. You see people camping right on the beach. They go swimming, boating, ride their jet skis or just lay in the sun. Elephant Butte is not just a great vacation spot, but a great place to live. Truth of Consequences, another town in Sierra County, is known for its geothermal mineral waters and offers many historic nature trails and Hot Springs as it was formally known. New Mexico is a vast open area of miles and miles of open land, so if you are looking for a place to call home whether it is ranching, farming or a single family home Elephant Butte, Truth or Consequences or Sierra County may be the place for you. If you are interested in find out more about these area Check out the Plaza Reality website . Americans are resilient people who set up a business in many different places and no matter where you go in American, American businesses show their pride by flying the American flag in front of their business

“I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.”
American businesses come in all sizes, as Americans it seams that most of us are born as natural entrepreneurs. We are always thinking out of the box. We are survivalist, always looking for a ways to survive financial or just make things better. I know I take pictures of American companies big or small but I just had to take a picture of this American Flag Flying on an antique farm tractor. Maybe this is not a business (although they do sell fire wood) but I just had to take this picture. I love the idea of hanging an American Flag on an antique tractor. John Deere made things better for American farmers. At the age of 17 john Deere was a black smith in Vermont. he latter move to Illinois to look for work. John Deere heard from farmers complaining that their plows were breaking in the hard soil in Illinois. john know he could make it better. He redesigned and made the plow out of steel not the cast iron plows the farmers where using. Check out this link, nicks history of antique tractors.
