On The Road Elks Lodges

As we are traveling to some interesting destinations, as Elks, Elsie and I are afforded the privilege of staying overnight in some Lodges.  In Carlsbad, NM, we were able to spend the day and overnight at the local Lodge which provided 30 amp electric service for visiting Elks and charged a donation to the Veterans program of only $10.00.  The Carlsbad Lodge was beautiful and we enjoyed dinner with them as well.  While there during the afternoon, we took the 28-mile car trip to visit the Carlsbad Caverns National Park.  Truly breathtaking and naturally beautiful.  Below are some pictures of our visit to Carlsbad, NM.

The next day, Friday, May 18th, we traveled further North in New Mexico and came to the Alien Landing zone of Roswell, NM.  Again, we took advantage of our Elks membership and stayed at the Roswell Elks Lodge where they have a nice campground for traveling, or wandering Elk, as I call ourselves.  They have Water and Electric (50 amp service) and a sanitation dump site on the property.  all this for a donation of only $20.00.  We also took advantage of their hospitality and had dinner with them.  They offer a full menu for both Lunch and Dinner each day.

In the afternoon we went into town and visited the Roswell UFO Museum.  Not much to speak of, but interesting to see all the information about that well documented close encounter in one place.
