Roswell, New Mexico

Saturday we drove from Las Cruces to the Escapee park at Lakewood. We had a beautiful drive over the mountain from Alamogordo to Artesia. The road wasn't bad and they had lots of passing zones.

Sunday we drove about 45 miles to Roswell. Have always wanted to go check out all the "Alien" stuff there. Not a whole lot going on this time of year but everything in town is Alien themed. It was fun anyway. We toured the White Home in town that is the Historical Center for southeast New Mexico Museum. It was a beautiful home and had wonderful exhibits.

We also drove out of town to the Bottomless Lakes State Park. Really neat area. They are actually sink holes that collapsed into caves. One of them has a wonderful swimming area with a beach and nice facilities.
