I rolled into Tucumcari which was one of the iconic Route 66 stops. I walked around to take pictures of the old motels and cars.
A last minute change took me to Roswell. I mean, why not? I went through some of the most desolate place ever without seeing many cars or actual houses on the 2.5 hour trip.
There were many alien statues throughout the town.
I went to Roswell’s museum about alien encounters.
I then went to Santa Rosa where I went to the lake Park and then the route 66 auto museum. Lots of cool things from the route 66 era as well as the collection of cars.
I stayed at the Santa Rosa State Park. Beautiful campground near the dam!
Next I’m headed to Albuquerque.
