International UFO Museum Parking Lot - we were allowed to park, no questions asked.

We have had an exciting few days.  We spotted aliens in Roswell, NM, home of the fabled UFO crash in 1947; found a rattlesnake at our campsite which was killed by one of the camp employees (we're still feeling bad about that); survived a violent rainstorm complete with thunder and lighting, and visited the fabulous Carlsbad Caverns and hiked down to a depth the equivalent of a 75 story building (we took the elevator back up!).  We're off to Texas tomorrow, y'all.
