Summer 2017 Vacation – July 27 – Day 8

Gloria has to work some so we pack up the car and head on out after a quick trip to McDonalds for some tea. I can neither confirm nor deny I might have procured some “hot cakes” as well.

We’re headed to the International UFO Museum And Research Center. Not just the national, but the International research center. Big things must happen there.

We arrived and paid our obligatory $5 to get into the “research center” to see what it is all about. There was some interesting stuff inside but it was also pretty hokey. If we had a piece of an spacecraft, an eyeball in a petri dish or something it might be more believable. There sure are a lot of people who think something happen near Roswell though.

We didn’t spend much time there. When we were done we went back the way we came into town to eat at a local Thai restaurant there named the “Lemon Grass”. I have to say it was pretty good! Like a ton of asian restaurants the inside is nothing to write about but the food and service was excellent.

Out of Roswell we took one last “long way” around Capitan Mountain to see what is back there. It turns out that it’s mostly nothing. I managed to get the drone out and make a short flight video there.

As you can see, it’s pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. We spent a lot of time in “nowhere” on this trip. It was fun.

I don’t think I took any other photographs this day. At least I couldn’t find any. You wouldn’t think that finding photographs would be that big of a deal but I use 4 cameras and I never remember where I put things.

We went on to our home of the next few days in Ruidoso (actually, Alto), New Mexico and got settled in there. It is always great to see family again. The home is beautiful. The air is clear, clean and cool.

Tomorrow we share BBQ together as a family. It’s a  huge family gathering as it turns out. It’ll be nice to see each of them.
