Hey Ladies and Gents-
I'm planning a cross-country road trip of anywhere between 4-8 weeks, leaving some time in mid-late April.
One of the states I'm going to be visiting is New Mexico.
So far, I have the following on the list of things to *potentially* see in your state. I'm not sure I'll get to all of them, but I want to solicit suggestions about things I should see or avoid.
I'm particularly interested in stuff that people might not know about or remember that has historic significance. For instance, in Louisiana I'm visiting the site where Bonnie and Clyde were gunned down. In that case, it's just a small monument on a dirt road, but it's an interesting part of history.
- Roswell
- White Sands National Monument/Park
- Lincoln National Forest
I might not get to all of those; maybe I will.
Any advice at all is welcome. Things to see, places to avoid, roads to use and not use, trails for off-roading, camp sites, etc.
One thing I won't be doing is shooting, and I don't really intend on visiting FFLs or anything like that. I have a limited amount of time for certain states and can't waste that in gun shops.
I plan on sleeping in the back of the car for 2-3 days, then getting a hotel for the night, then going back in the car. As a result, I'll need recommendations for cool camp sites with views, etc.
Any information about Covid restrictions is also helpful with regard to closures of parks or businesses.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
