Town & Country RV Park, Roswell, NM - 04 November 2020 

Our neighbors at the Town and Country RV Park. We think they are long-term RVers. 

USO Museum, Roswell, NM - 05 November 2020 

UFO Museum, Roswell, New Mexico. The artwork on the right is to commemorate the finding of the debris from the crash in Area 51. 

The Aliens are coming to get Bob though they seemed to be so friendly at first. 

We come in peace. That's a really big alien. The cartoon is Major Jesse Marcel catches scent of a cover-up...."With respect, sir, the foil I came across in the desert didn't smell of roast chicken...."

Such big eyes you have. The better to.... According to the information in the museum the aliens were not standing as the craft had crashed. The bodies were scattered on the desert floor and at least one alien was still alive. 

Very detailed

History goes way back as reflected in various petroglyphs and pictographs depicting aliens. The museum included many witness statements of the government wanting to make it clear to the locals that any discussion of "UFOs or aliens" was not in their best interests. 

Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Roswell, NM - 06 November 2020 

We love finding wildlife refuges on our trips, especially if they have one of our favorites, Sandhill Cranes.  

An early morning return trip for some better light to photograph the current residents. We heard gunshots but since we were in a parking lot we weren't too concerned. Suddenly, we had pellets falling around us and on several parked vehicles. Hunters tracking something in flight was shooting right over our heads. Guess we were lucky it was shotgun pellets pinging all over. 

Lots of Snow Geese overwinter at this refuge in the desert. 

The “Blue Goose” is the dark morph of the Snow Goose. The body is blue-gray in color while the head and most of the neck are white. 

Sandhill Cranes. Not sure who was the noisy neighbors as both the cranes and geese are almost constantly gabbing.

Time to wrap it up as the day comes to an end. Beautiful sunsets in New Mexico.
