It was cold thins morning in Roswell. Made it to the shower to be happily surprised. Probably the best water pressure and nicest shower heads of the trip. Funny how the little things can make us happy!
During my research of Roswell I learned there was a German POW camp not far from here during WWII. One of the tasks the prisoners performed was lining the stream through town with stones mortared in place. One location along the bank the prisoner used rocks of the appropriate size to form an Iron cross. There’s a small memorial park across the bank form the cross. In the park is a small section of the Berlin wall. This is the second piece I’ve seen on the trip.
We had to go to the UFO museum while in Roswell. It seems to be a fairly comprehensive collection of information and testimonials regarding the 1947 crash which put Roswell on the map. There just may have been some marketing genius at work drumming up tourism, but maybe it was real…
Made some calls and figured out which way I’m heading. It’s still pretty cold in the mountains to the north and I don’t feel like backtracking to see Palo Duro canyon in Texas so I’m going west.
