I survived a hundred degrees in blistering Roswell this month. It was my second visit. I was last at the UFO museum way back in 2000. Not a great deal has changed. Many photocopied documents and images are mounted on display boards, but there are a few new, weightier displays including a giant Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still.
On the way back I stopped at Vaughn, with an ever decreasing population, currently about 431. I love the old desert towns, the evidence of of boom and bust gone rusty. A local blogger here in ABQ has written a great potted history of Vaughn.
