Day 10 – Since we had the day off, today’s goal was to see Roswell which is exactly what we did. We did the museum and gift shop thing for a while and headed on through the beautiful countryside. My camera broke today and was buried along side Smokey the Bear’s grave. There are still flies in the van. At one point I could see 7 at one time. Very annoying. They have been in there since North Dakota. Speaking of flying things, I’ve dubbed our van “the aviary” because every time someone takes a picture, someone else is almost always giving the bird. For dinner, I ate beef jerky until my jaw was sore. We stopped at Highway 666 tonight and hailed the true master. Another truck stop night, but this one was unique. We didn’t know it, but we were parked about 100 feet from some train tracks. We are about to drift off to sleep and a train comes racing through scaring the absolute crap out of us. We all thought for sure we were going to die. It sounded like a plane was about to crash into us. Too tired to move, we slept through the night with the hourly train passing.
