We visited Roswell.
I was looking forward to looking for aliens and walking around a new town but found the whole area to be quite disappointing. There was a nice visitors center where we picked up leaflets and a town map. The old part of town is relying on visitors coming to see aliens but it isn't moving forward to give them more of an experience and to keep them in the area spending money. Instead they will be driving a few miles along the road to the out of town areas where there was an alien themed McDonalds and some of the usual big box stores - though the stores were on a smaller scale than bigger towns.
We visited the International UFO Museum but found it was quite an old and sad place with a few museum style boards telling you the history of Roswell UFO sighting. There was nothing I could not have read online. We walked around for about fifteen minutes and left. Glad it did not cost more than $7 each as it would not have been worth it.
The museum is set on the Main Street so we had a walk along to look at the stores but there was not really much to see. We had more fun at the Ace Hardware store and a Farmers Market store nearby!

Morgan was not enjoying going for walks or even just a quick pee near the rv as the ground was covered in barbs and thorns that were hurting her paws. A few times they were so long and sharp they even pierced our feet through our chunky Crocs.
