We do. And we decided not to go that way. Yesterday was a very long extraterrestrial adventure. First stop was Carlsbad city for a car wash (which turned out to be useless at getting the Mississippi bugs off the front of the car) and grocery shopping. Then we headed up to Roswell.
We visited the UFO Museum. It was worth the hour and $5. It was the first real kitchy thing we did. There was a surprising amount of reading at the exhibits. We ate lunch at Farleys which could not serve us our beer at 11:50 when we ordered it. They had to wait until noon to bring it to our table. We searched for the Crashdown Cafe to take pictures for Jeannine, but it wasn't in TomTom or on either of the two main drags in town. We did get some shots of alien signs though.
Then we headed across the state to the Very Large Array. We need to look up the Valley of Fires at some point. We drove right through it and it looked like old volcanic lava flows. That was a really neat stop. There was a nice little movie and a cool little self guided walking tour which we ended up doing with some folks from the UK. I'll let Rick talk about the rest of the day's journeys. I would just like to say that the Chihuahan desert was nice, but I greatly prefer the higher altitudes with the ponderosa pines.

That's "Do You Know the Way to San Jose."
Be careful - state hyways in AZ, NM, UT, and CO can be DIRT.

Mandy, Your out of office reply says " I will not have sporadic access to both email and voice mail." Is that what you meant or did you mean "I will have sporadic". Don't know if there is a way for you to fix it or not.

I looked up Santa Fe songs and Google told me that there was a Burt Bacharach song called Do You Know the Way to Santa Fe. Close enough anyway.
I'll see about sending an email to get that out of office fixed. Thanks. You did mean email right? I had to have an network administrator do it for me.
