Yea there wasn't much interesting in Roswell. It was more of just a stop over for me going between Caralsbad Caverns & Albuquerque. The only thing of interest to me was a old junk yard that looked like it had a ton of old cars ranging from the 30's to the 60's, but it was a weekend and it was closed.
I ended up spending a few days in Albuquerque then moved on to Santa Fe. Santa Fe was really nice and I would have loved to stay a little longer but I had a gig set up to make some extra money while on the road, so I needed to be in Denver the middle of this week.
I ended up going up 25 which was a nice drive and I've made it to Colorado Springs so far. It's just a shame, that it seems every town is pretty much just like the last with the exact same big box stores all lined up in the same order. There is very little originality left these days.. It's either Lego Land pop up cities or towns that are mostly empty with main streets that are ghost towns.
I like the old school main street style towns, but so few are able to survive and they usually end up looking like ghost towns, with nothing but empty store fronts.
