Day five –
Roswell, Ruidoso, Alamogordo NM
On Thursday we
woke up to a flat tire on our rental car. We had to wait over an hour and a half
for someone to come change the tire, then another 30 minutes to change the
tire, and then we had to get the tire repaired in Ruidoso. That pushed our
whole day about 3 hours behind. We had planned on making a day trip to Roswell.
It was a 2 hour trip 1 way, so we prepared for lots of driving. It was pretty
disappointing to say the least. The town banked off the cheesy little alien
stuff. And frankly, the town was kind of dirty. We didn’t really enjoy it and
spent maybe 45 minutes at the most there. We did get blizzards from Dairy Queen
right outside of the town…so I guess that made it worth it. Ha! After Roswell
we went back to a few shops in Ruidoso – but it was 5 and almost everything was
closed. After Ruidoso we hit a few wineries on the way back, in the pouring
down rain. We had dinner and let Mason play at the park. Then back home to rest
for our trip to Carlsbad the next day!

When you say banked on cheesy alien stuff you weren't kidding! It cracks me up when people do things like that. I would hate to live in a tourist town.
