A few views from the road today. We stayed off the interstate and enjoyed back roads with little traffic. It was miles and miles of nothing. I am still in love with the area and visualize lots of buffalo in the wide open range. The third pic reminded me of a covered wagon. It is really a water tank, but it could have been a wagon. We did drive through some more burned areas. And then some very lush green areas that used irrigation. Also saw a couple dust devils. One small and one quite impressive one. Couldn't get the camera out in time to get a picture. We also crossed the Pecos River, it was almost totally dried. A couple of little puddles on the right and some cows drinking on the left. Again we are in an area that is experiencing record heat.
We stopped in the visitors center in Roswell and the lady insisted on taking a couple of pictures, this is one of them.
UFO Museum at Roswell. A bit of a disappointment. Not sure what I expected but this wasn't it. Even the gift shop was a bit lame. There were some neat things such as the "alien" in the display case. The "alien" on the gurney was a prop used in a movie about Roswell.
This was the thermometer in the camper when we arrived at the campground around 4 this afternoon. It was 106 out side and 102 inside the camper. Oh so happy to have air conditioning! It is around 9:30 right now and still 97 outside. Who knew that we would consider that cool enough to be outside walking around.
This is our little baby trailer parked beside a huge ark. Hope it gives us a bit of shade. Our campground info included a warning to watch out for "spiders, snakes, scorpions and skunks" YIKES! Given the options, we'll take the skunk, LOL.
We will be here for three days so until tomorrow....
