Bioshere

Our last stop was Biosphere 2 in Oracle,Arizona. I was really hoping for a slightly run down dome with Pauly Shore working as the docent and maybe a couple of old airstreams outside. Imagine my surprise (and disappointment) when, after driving an hour out of the way, we found a glittering monument to science. Thanks a lot University of Arizona, you're nuts if you think I'm paying $20.00 to check out a bunch of cactus.

So this is as close as we got. Never even saw the actual building.

More Roswell

Of course Roswell is known for the whole close encounter thing, so the entire town is one big tribute to alien life. We missed the museum though, I think it cost too much.




 

This bar looked pretty spooky. Would have been nice to check out the inside though.

Roswell

Our longest stop was in Roswell. Stopped for lunch and to take a look around.





This last one may have been outside of Roswell. I hung out the window at a stoplight to get this nice neon.

Sneaky

Was just going through some old pix and found this one.

Very mysterious.

Windfarms

Near Sweetwater, TX I think. Shot this from the car, they're so unbelievably big. We used to drive through the windfarm out in Palm Springs when we came out to CA as kids, but I've noticed a lot more cropping up across the desert each time I drive it.
