On our way to Carrizozo, New Mexico

Stopped by Roswell, New Mexico and the International UFO Museum and Research Center.  It must be true, here's the pictures.

Here we are parked at the Valley of Fires BLM Recreation area.

In Lincoln we saw how early settlers protected themselves.  We saw the Billy the Kid Historical exhibit and toured historical Lincoln.

 

 

We also toured Fort Stanton which was a U. S. MilitaryFort built in 1855.  Billy the Kid and Kit Carson was among the notables that lived there at one time.  It has had several uses over the years including an internment camp for both German and Japanese prisoners.  No the lower picture is not a statue, this is the docent that took time out of his Sunday to talk to us about life and history of Fort Stanton.
