Roswell, New Mexico

We watched our friends on horseback as they rode out this morning. Must be nice in the cool mornings to be seeing the scenery that way. 

We went in to the town of Roswell early this morning for groceries, while it was still cool.  Well known for it's connections to the crash of an "alien ship" in 1947,  Roswell is a nice little town with only the occasional alien presence, but more UFO museums than you can count.  
It was a successful shopping trip. . .we bought about 4 dozen fresh, hot tortillas at the little market and did our best to eat them all before they cooled off. Yum!

The visitor's center at Bottomless Lakes finally opened up (one or two park staff have to spread themselves thin, so it's not always open). We toured that and walked in to one of the smaller lakes, then headed out of the park for a little exploring.

By noon we were back in camp. 95 degrees is too hot for wandering around in the sun! It isn't too bad for sitting in the shade, sipping something cool and looking at the lake however. We don't have a lakeside site, those have to be reserved ahead of time, but the park isn't at all crowded, so we still have a nice view.
