ROSWELL!!

We made a decision last evening that proved to be based in excellence!  We were going to travel NW today toward Clovis, NM, but we have NEVER heard anything nice about Clovis, so we decided that since we are so close, let's go to Roswell!! 

     It was a challenging drive as we fought a 20 mile an hour cross wind most of the way today.  But, it was well worth the trip!  Roswell is a fascinating town.  After miles and miles and miles and miles of nothing, you descend into this beautiful valley and there's Roswell, the Dairy Capitol of New Mexicon (I didn't know that!) and, of course, the home to the UFO Museum stemming from the 1947 incident just outside of the town.  This town knows how to treat visitors well. If you ever come here (and I highly recommend a visit), go to the visitor's center.  They will very professionally introduce you to all this town has to offer and it's a lot!  Did you know there was a POW camp in Roswell during WWII?  Over 4600 POWs (mostly German) were here during the war.  I've included a picture of some of the stonework they did during their incarceration. 

An iron cross made of stone fashioned by German POWs.

And, we've found a beautiful RV park right on the edge of town.  We made it to the Art Museum, the POW memorial and the UFO museum today.....and we were almost abducted!!
