So we drove from Texas (thank GAWD we are out of there!) and into New Mexico over the last couple of days.
We noticed a smooth transition from Texas scenery into more of a rough desert that exists in NM and Arizona (haven't been to AZ yet this trip, that will be on the way down most likely.)

I don't remember why we took this photo, there is zero scenery around for miles. Just what you see here. |

We visited Roswell NM and of course checked out the UFO Museum. Definitely worth the $5 admission fee as there are some very interesting artifacts and recreations.

Every 10 minutes the UFO spins and smoke comes out. |

This is where the band name comes from by the way. |
Of course Roswell fully embraces the Alien culture.
