Day 6
Aliens, Radar Astronomy, and the Continental Divide...

Today started in Carlsbad at a chilly 48 degrees. I made my way north to famous Roswell NM past a ton of remote ranch land and some pecan plantations.

The first thing you see on main street is a huge marquee for the UFO museum, so in I went. It had all kinds of info on the crash and coverup - much more than you typically see on those rehashed TV shows. A fun stop.

From there, i found my way towards the mountins that guard the white sands facilities... there is a little town called Socorro where i got gas (yes D- i had to fill up) not much to do there but i did stop in the Welcome Center where i learned that the VLA was only 50 miles away. that also happened to be on a great mountain route that was one of the most beautiful and fun roads I have ever driven.. and D- you can confirm that's alot.

Finally - made my way down the west side of the continental divide to a place called Silver City NM. - this is the most civilization i have seen since San Antonio a few days ago!!
