    Default Stops in West Texas and New Mexico

    Here are a few suggestions along I-10 as you head west:

    Caverns of Sonora outside Sonora, TX.

    Fort Lancaster Sate Historic Park and the scenic drive into Sheffield along TX-290.

    From Fort Stockton, TX, I'd head north on US-285 to see:

    Carlsbad Caverns and

    Roswell, NM, as themed a town as you're going to find on this route.

  2. Default Lincoln, NM

    Don't forget Lincoln, site of the Lincoln County War (1870s-1880s). These were the events that inspired the movies "Young Guns," and Billy the Kid made his "name" here. Not to be missed if you like the Old West!

    Also, the Ruidoso area is a sky-island mountain paradise. You might check out the Museum of the Horse, if it is still open there. Bob

    Default White Sands NM

    Don't forget White Sands NM near Alamogordo. SR70 is also very scenic in these parts between Roswell and Las Cruces. If you plan to sleep in that area, check out the Best Western in Alamogordo, it has a heated pool and jacuzzi, the staff is pretty cool and they have cheap rates.
