After we left the Grand Canyon we traveled on to Gallup, New Mexico. This was just a stop over night on out way to Roswell. On our way to Gallup, we got caught in a dust devil! For those of you who have no idea what that is, (like I didn't until it happened) its like a small tornado made of dirt and tumbleweeds! I was driving at the time and saw it off in the distance just a spinning around. It really looks like a tornado. So we are driving and looking and all of a sudden this thing picks up speed and heads straight towards us!! I was a bit freaked out, I had flashes of this thing picking up the truck and tossing it! Needless to say that did not happen, it came right over us, we screamed and then it was over and our truck was dirty! Very cool, I must say.
The campground was nice, just smack off the highway. We were the only pop-up there. I felt like we didn't belong! haha who doesn't belong in a campground!
Here is Caleb as a totem pole:
Now off to Roswell, home of the Aliens. Yeah... we went to the UFO International Museum and Research Center. For $5 ($3 for military, $2 for children) you too can experience the Alien Invasion the happened in the middle of nowhere. And for $1 you can actually listen to vintage audio! (vintage because it is an actual cassette player!) Caleb thought the museum was "pretty kick butt". So the extra 140 miles out of the way was worth it! (to some)
Now we are off the end of New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma. All 3 in one day!
