| | UFORTE: Day 7
On this day we dropped Kaitlin off at the airport in "The EP" and
headed off to White Sands near Fort Bliss. It's pretty awesome to look
at. We drove to a secluded area and romped on the sand dunes for a
while!
Amy's favorite pasttime was to go dune-jumping. This action shot
basically captures the idea. You get a running start and then jump down
the dune. Fun times!
Then we buried Stephanie. I mean, what else were we supposed to do?? It
was good times. And after brushing most of the sand out of places we
didn't even know we could get sand, we were back on the road.
Day 7's driving included passing through Earth, Texas and Halfway,
Texas. Go ahead and have a giggle about the Halfway Post Office, the
Halfway School, being Halfway there... yes, the jokes go on forever and
after 7 days of being on the road, they can be quite funny!
Lunch in Roswell, NM! We ate at the tasty Cover-up Cafe. They have all
kinds of signs about weather balloons and whatnot. We enjoyed the
nerdiness. But really, the food was yummy!
After lunch we had no choice but to meander around Roswell and hit the
UFO Museum. It was pretty hardcore and we smiled at the X-Files posters
they had up in the back. And we smirked at the section devoted to Area
51... having been there only a few days previous... Have I mentioned
we're nerds?
I don't have the pictures, but after the museum we walked down the road
a ways to this shop that lets you pay $2 and take pictures with aliens
in various senarios. They were fabulous pictures of things like sitting
on a couch with an alien, being in jail with an alien, being in school
with an alien... you know... but yeah, Stephanie's got the pictures.
On the evening of Day 7 we made it to Palo Duro Canyon and camped in
the valley of the canyon. Stephanie and Amy enjoyed some very buggy
showers and we went to sleep, but not before we mistook the rainfly for
an animal outside the tent. Oh well, what can you do...
~ You can't hide the truth! Roswell...Roswell! |
