Roswell

First stop of the day was to head straight up to Roswell, 75 miles to our north. Our expectations were pretty much just a lot of silly alien kitsch. There were a couple of alien gift shops, the "International UFO Museum and Research Center", and some cute decorations in the town itself. Overall, a bit of a letdown, but as Matt says, now we can say we've been there. Worth a short side trip, but thats about it. (although for some odd reason, the entire town smells strongly of manure. Very unpleasant.)

On the way out of Roswell, we stumbled across a Toyota dealership which was fortuitous because I could not figure out how to reset the Maintenance Required light that Jiffy Lube did not reset when the changed my oil, and because my car had begun making a strange squeaking noise when I turned it on. The tech there was able to reset my light immediately, and told me that the squeaking was a common occurance, and was not a problem, we managed to get into and out of there in less than 5 minutes. Onward to White Sands!
