We headed straight to the 'International UFO Museum and Research Center', which was just as dated as the town itself. It's as if the alien's landed in the 1940s, the tourist boom happened and they hadn't bothered updating anything in the town since then. Anyway, as a cynic I took it all with a pinch of salt - but I have to admit they put forward a convincing argument!! Especially with Army workers admitting to a cover up later in their life, including bodies being removed from the crash site. Weird shizzle for sure!
After the museum we didn't hang around too long for fear of being probed, instead we head to Lincoln - the last place Billy the Kid was held and escaped from. It was a nice little historic town which, unlike Tombstone, was all the original houses, shops and town hall. We had a walk around the room he was held in and down the stairs he made his escape from woth supposedly the bullet holes still in the wall. He remains a firm favourite of the western outlaws/heroes we've heard about.
We then pushed on the Odessa, Texas - which proved to be an error. A major oil town, all the motels were full of oil workers abd as a rest the prices were sky high. And that's without mentioning the constant smell of oil everywhere. We settled flr a aemi-dive motel which was still nearly double what we were used to paying, then treated ourselves to a Red Lobster dinner. It didn't quite live up to oue NYC Red Lobster experience, but did mean that we were so full we slept pretty well.
