Day 20: The Road to Roswell

Thursday, Nov 3

Back at it, on the road again with a full 8 hr day — mostly just to Exit Texas.

Driving through large fields of cotton, peppered with oil well rigs pumping away, or giant windmills half hidden in low clouds. Sometimes both. Oh, and a bit of rain at times.

Avoided the major interstates for this leg, but these 2-lane country highways — with the occasional extra-wide (and extra slow) tractor on the road — are posted at 75 mph! However the small towns you pass through are posted much slower… and they really mean it. But that’s another story.

Anyway, arrived in Roswell, NM on time (thanks, time zone shift) and just fine. Went looking for the infamous aliens. And found them everywhere.

Evidently, the local tourist bureau doesn’t mind the unusual reputation.
