Roswell, New Mexico to Lubbock Texas (605kms)

We hit the extraterrestrial town of Roswell today which was fun with Alien images everywhere even the street lamps and the info on the crop circle phenomena was really interesting. I had to come here after loving pop culture and anything with a mythical twist to it. It also housed a fabulous art gallery so that was a definite bonus.

Observations:
• There were lots of amazing signs made from silhouette designs in metal
• Back in Oil drilling country like we saw in California
• So many abandoned houses and ghost towns
• Hit the plains which a sooooooo flat
• Loads of pretty sunflowers all along the highway
• Apparently largest wool producing area but didn't see a single sheep - weird
• Like the artists Larry Bob Phillips and Yoshiko Kanai

    They keep their sheep in small wee pens in buildings. Inhumane.
