We made the long drive into the desert to Roswell New Mexico, home of the UFO conspiracy theorys and sitings. In 1948, there was a supposed crash of an alien space craft on a sheep farm outside Roswell. It was followed by a supposed mass government cover-up, then movies, a TV show and lots of fun.
Aside from being the UFO capital of the US, Roswell is beautiful. We found a campsite at Bottomless Lake state park, a gorgeous spot. We set up camp as the winds continued and had dinner watching a beautiful sunset over the lake. Then we spent a nice day reading and relaxing and moving around the campsite trying to stay in the shade. We took a swim in the ice-cold bottomless lake and when the sun moved behind the tent, and things cooled off a little, we headed in to town to explore the UFO museum. Again, the word of the trip... Cheesy, but a lot of fun and some interesting things.
Another night free of Alien sitings and with Dog as my co-pilot (ha ha) we're off to Albequerque.
