Roswell

New Mexico Trip April 2003

After an inspiring morning drive down from Albuquerque across wide open ranch country, where we seemed to spend the whole time gradually circling around Capitan Peak (10083') in the distant Capitan Mountains of central New Mexico, we arrived in Roswell and ate lunch at the Crashdown Diner, then hit the International UFO Museum and Research Center. Then we visited the Roswell Museum & Art Center. We continued on to Carlsbad and "White's City", which is just a hotel really, not a city -- the only sign of civilization within 15 miles of Carlsbad Caverns.
