re: Anybody spend any time in Roswell, NM?

Great weather in NM. Seems like it’s always sunny.

I’ve driven through.

The entire towns lifeblood is the UFO shtick. Outside of that it is nothing but desolation.

Came here to post about Artesia. I went out there bird hunting twice last year and was blown away by the town. I’m used to little podunk West Texas towns that are all the same and expected the same. It’s located right next to the Pecos river and has a good bit of farming, pecan orchards, and overall “greenery” not expected for that area. The main strip in Artesia is very nice with restaurants, a brewery, bowling alley, etc on a tree lined road. The Adobe Rose is a legit good restaurant. We sat outside by a fire pit and ate a filet and listened to a good cover artist while it snowed lightly. Once you leave the main drag it’s not as nice but still a pretty good sized town. If you hunt there’s amazing dove and quail hunting with deer and elk not far away. There’s a ton of oil field work going on out there but not much else it seems.

Depends really what your situation is. I have found that it takes me a couple of years to get tired of even really shitty places, so I would try it out if you have anything at all to gain from it.

Weird and mostly depressing place. Except the flying saucer McDonald's. Wait, yeah that too.

My spacecraft crashed there many years ago. Luckily, I was able to break free from my handlers.

Truck driver?
