Since this place was on my route, two reasons to stop in town. One, the UFO Museum because of the legend of so many UFO sitings in the area, including Area 51. Two, a cousin, actually, a second cousin to my father, lives in town and has a CPA business with another person.

As I drove south-to-north into Roswell, I could see why aliens would pick the area. Miles and miles and miles of nothing but very flat nearly nothing of land -- great landing spots. However, further south of that, closer to the town of Artesia, there was one area that had thousands and thousands of cows packed into a small area like sardines. Unbelievable.

Once I got to town, the UFO Museum was closed. No sign on the door/building indicating when (if!) it would open. And when I went to the office of my cousin, same type of thing: closed and no signs. I left town.
