on the search for extraterrestrial life forms

yeah, we're in roswell, new mexico looking for aliens...actually we are really just looking for the cheesiest alien stuff we could find.  I mean what else do you do in roswell?

check trip advisor like we did:

we hung at a super awesome place called bottomless lakes and listed #3 of the top 13 things to do while visiting roswell on tripadvisor.com.  here's the scoop on the lakes:

Bottomless Lakes State Park is a state park of New Mexico, located along the Pecos River, about 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Roswell. Established in 1933, it was the first state park in New Mexico. It takes its name from nine small, deep lakes located along the eastern escarpment of the Pecos River valley. The escarpment is an ancient limestone reef, similar to the limestone mountains around Carlsbad Caverns, 80 miles (130 km) to the south. Caves formed within the limestone, and as the Pecos River eroded the escarpment, the caves eventually collapsed, leaving behind several deep (ranging from 17-90 feet deep), almost circular lakes known as cenotes.

during our stay, we were treated to an amazing thunderstorm right on top of us, we also caught a huge migration of birds...thousands and thousands flew overhead for more than an hour.  it was cool!  not to mention we experienced our first 11 degree morning...we apparently lost summer somewhere along the way.

because we are a little loony and huge fans of ancient aliens and we just happen to be in roswell, nm; we ask you to consider this:  a series of bottomless lakes so near roswell and area 51, could there be ancient extraterrestrial technology at work here?

although the cheese factor of roswell did not meet our high expectations, we enjoyed tripping around town, taking care of errands... it was a really wonderful little town with a great sense of humor...we managed to pick up the requisite $10 alien t-shirts.

our time in new mexico winds down as we head to carlsbad for christmas.
