ZigZag

Left Alamagordo. Drove the scenic way through Ruidoso. Stopped at Billy Kid Visitor Center. Met very nice trendy hippie woman whose daughter and I have a lot in common.

Made my way to Roswell. It smells there. Went to UFO Museum and Research Center. Roswell smells. Not sure where on stand on Aliens.

Back down route 70 to 380. Stopped in Lincoln. Met an amazing 85 year old woman. LOVED Lincoln and learned a lot about town an Billy The Kid. Possibly the best preserved Western town. Learned about the Lincoln War.

All the small towns so far seems sleepy. Even the cities are slower. Maybe it’s the heat and wind.

Drive to Albuquerque. Anna, the other gringa, made me dinner, we laughed, and I relaxed.

Thoughts:

I saw a road runner run across the road. I only knew what it was by how it ran resembled the cartoon.

There are lots of Pecan Farms.

It seems to be all older people and a few families in rural areas. Where is my generation taking over the farm?

What on earth is a safety corridor? If people didn’t speed anywhere New Mexico wouldn’t need them.

There are lots of Casino’s in rural areas. As well as a very large Hard Rock Café Casino and Hotel.

Women are extremely friendly and nice in New Mexico where the men are a little strange.
