Roswell, New Mexico

Our drive today took us past more pump jacks and freshly plowed fields of iron rich red soil.

Goodbye Texas. Hello New Mexico.

The landscape sure was different once we crossed into the Land of Enchantment. We started looking for Walter White from Breaking Bad. Then suddenly we saw Sardine Mountain in the distance. Nice.

Denny and I toured the UFO Museum in Roswell and spent some time at the Spring River Park and Zoo. They are just getting things up and running so we didn't get to see the antique carousel - which was the main reason for going. We did enjoy the antics of the black bears and loved seeing Gus and Lake, two rescued bald eagles. Their injuries were so severe they could not be returned to the wild.

So far, no alien sightings but we will keep an eagle eye out.Read more
