We heading back towards Las Vegas and leave San Antonio going north via Fredericksburg, a German town in Texas hill country - had the most wonderful kitchen shop and full of gift shops and christmas things.

Back in the RV and headed to San Angelo where we stay for the night. In the morning Daryl goes for a run - the office lady said it was 2.6 miles around the lake. Some time later I am getting very worried & finally find him heading back - he ran 6 km's round to another RV park to be told he had to go back the way he came! Needless to say he ran off last night's bourbon and some.....
Up the next morning we head for Carlsbad, a pretty uneventful drive through cotton fields and oil fields. We got gas, food and then LPG at the camp before settling in for the night. We have lost an hour as we are now in New Mexico again. We unhitched the water pipes as they froze last night & tonight is to be another cold one.
This morning we are up & on the road - we decide to visit Roswell where all the aliens land......

We thought this would be a bit of a tourist exhibit but were both disappointed in the little museum there and not much else. On the flip side they were filming some redneck TV show, so you may catch us in the background of the programme.
Along the way we have seen old cars everywhere and finally Daryl can't help stopping at a wrecker's yard and disappearing for half an hour to get his fix.

We head out and pass through White Sands Monument which is sand dunes that are white - really quite cool.

After a short break in the sand, we head off to make Las Cruces so we get there before dark...and we are low on petrol again.... but make it over the hill to a gas station.
Checked in for two nights and gone grocery shopping, ready to put our feet up & relax for a couple of days.
You didnt stop at Carlsbad Caverns and see the bats?
