Made It To Roswell, New Mexico

After crossing the New Mexico border, late in the day, we drove on to find an RV Park, but we found none.  We eventually stopped in a large wide spot off the side of the highway.  We spent the night there and used the generator a couple of times, to run the heat.  That sounds strange after just having several days of over 100 degrees in Arizona.  It was the high desert and got very chilly at night. Turns out we were 1/4 of a mile from Datil. We drove on through New Mexico, stopping at a historical site and we saw the big radio telescopes that were on railroad tracks.  

Later, in the day, May 17, we made it to Roswell, NM.  We called ahead and made a reservation at an RV Park there.  We spend the rest of the 17th there and all of the 18th.  We went to the city square where I got my photo taken in front of the big mural.  I met a gal named Dawn, who was also traveling, and she makes clothes for people like me!  We had a very engaging conversation about sewing. 

Of course, we visited the Calico Cow quilt shop in downtown Roswell.  They have amazing fabrics of all kinds and some amazing galaxy and space alien fabrics.

I bought some red fabric with white cows on it. It is amazing.  It was cool inside the shop and the people were very friendly.  Then we went to McDonalds and I posed with some space aliens there.

We departed Roswell on May 19 and continued east, where we ended up in Ballinger, TX, to spend the night.  Stayed tuned to find out about our adventures in Ballinger.
