Roswell, New Mexico!

So what is Roswell like? It’s really a small town. Sign says population is 50,000 but seems small. It’s just got one main road. The lady at the hotel said the Main St. is their main street and anything off of that road is just suburbs. Which she said might be nicer but also less “advanced” as the Main St. Looks like AnyTown, USA.

Some pictures from Roswell….

The show Roswell was always showing South 285. Well there she is!

More Posts

It’s been a while since some posts were made. So I thought I’d make some updates and post some pictures. Basically, after getting in town on Monday it just got so busy. Had a lot of fatigue the first day. Headache too. The next day was busy just settling in with my uncle. Then Wednesday had to start working. Now the weekend is the first chance I’ve gotten to sit down and find picture to post. Then had to crop them and make them smaller in size and put effects like shadow.

So enjoy the pictures….

Updates

So no updates for a while.

Well it’s been a busy few days. Started from Phoenix, AZ on Sunday around 10:30 or so. Reached Redlands, CA about 4:00p PST. So been tired and busy since. Will update more and post pictures.

Roswell, NM

So Roswell is pretty much another anytown, USA. Other than little green men painted on every other thing, it’s just another rundown midwest like town. It may not be midwest but sure looks it. US380 was a big disapointment to drive on. It is small and boring and dull. Fun but still boring. Put more wear and tear on the tires driving on some odd incorrectly paved road/street.

Will definitely take the 40 on the way back to Dallas, TX.

So what is so special about little cheesy paintings of aliens? It’s eccentric. It’s still fun to see. The UFO museum was closed by the time I was ready to go to it. Arrived in town 4pm. Got done and headed out 4:30. Saw a museum sign and went it. It was the Roswell Arts Museum or some such. Not the UFO museum. By the time got out, it was closed.

So will post some pictures later.

Leaving

Leaving in 10 minutes, God Willing!

Itinerary

Sat 9th.

Dallas, TX – Roswell, NM.

Departure: 7am.

Arrival: Estimate – 3pm.

Butterflies

As the time to leave nears, the anxiety increases. The anxious wait for the trip!

Anxious, because I have never done something similar. I fly for business all the time. And that also make me anxious. Always to the point where I can’t sleep the nite before. So tonite will be a fun nite. When I travel for work, the difference is that if the town is not that great, I can just stay at the hotel and order room service. There’s no need to walk. But on a roadtrip the walking is part of the roadtrip. The tourism and such.

I have never been to Roswell or New Mexico. No idea what the people are like. Feeling slight apprehension about that. Hopefully, it will be unjustified.

So they say there’s some aliens in Roswell. All I can think is that those aliens better be legal! Ok, not the best joke but still!

Some UFO convention is going on. That’s what the hotel lady said. Or maybe everyday some UFO thing is big in Roswell. Anyway, only one day to find out!

Road Trip Plan

The current plan is to drive from Dallas, TX to Ontario, CA. The trip will take 19hours some minutes if done in one leg. However, this is not only too much for the driver but also for the car. Some say the new cars are built to be driven so this should not be a problem. However, a break allows the driver to rest and inspect the car and re-energize. It also gives the opportunity to use the digital camera.

Route:

  • Dallas, TX – Roswell, NM – Leg 1
  • Roswell, NM – Phoenix, AZ – Leg 2
  • Phoenix, AZ – Ontario, CA – Leg 3

Ride:

  • 2006 Ford Mustang.

Accessories:

  • Cell Phone
  • Music CDs
  • Chocolate (Thanks Gina!)
  • Cell Phone Car Charger – To be purchased.
