Stopovers - Roswell, NM


This trip is not all about going from city to city. We do make the occasional stop along the way.

One of our stops was on the way from Carlsbad to Albuquerque. We decided to grab breakfast in Roswell, New Mexico. Made famous by shows like The X-Files and some rancher dude who found a UFO on his property.

We didn't plan on stopping here long, but the UFO museum and research center was calling our name.


I just think it's awesome that a tiny New Mexican town built a huge tourist industry on an alien sighting. Even the lamposts were alien heads. We played right into their touristy hands, they probably saw us coming from miles away. Fun town!
