Subject: BLM Directions for Roswell Crash Sites

The only useful booth I found at the "UFO Trade Fair" at the recent
Roswell fest was sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management -- or
the Federal government itself!

They gave out a small, succinct flyer telling how to get to the alleged
UFO crash sites, as given in three renditions of the Roswell story.
The full text of the flyer is below.

BLM also gave out a brochure, "Rules for Camping and Other Recreational
Uses on Public Lands in Southeast New Mexico."  You can probably obtain
one from the Roswell BLM office at 2909 West Second, Roswell, NM 88201.
Tel 505-627-0272.

Roughly a third of the land in that part of New Mexico is public and
you are free to camp there without charge or permission for up to 14
days.  However, you need a good land use map to know what is public.
Official land use maps of Roswell and vicinity are available from
BLM for about $5 each.  (You can probably call to find out the details
of ordering by mail.)

Visiting The Sites

RAGSDALE SITE: Four-wheel drive required. From US 285 turn west on
Pine Lodge Rd. end travel 45 miles. Just past Mile Marker 33 is a sign
for Boy Scout Mtn. Turn onto Forest Rd. 130 and drive 3.7 miles. Turn
left onto a jeep road and drive a little more than a mile. You will
cross a creek, climb a hill and see a stone campfire ring on the left
at the crest of the hill. Follow a short trail to the rock, which is
about 5 feet tall and is split in two.

BRAZEL SITE: From Corona, go east on NM 247 and just past Mile Marker
17, turn right at the Corona Compressor Station sign. The site is
about 16 miles southeast of the turnoff. It is on Bureau of Land
Management property, which is open to the public but reaching the site
requires passing through private ranch land, which is fenced and
gated. Please ask for permission before entering and, if you enter,
close all the gates behind you.

CORN SITE: Drive north from Roswell on US 285. You will see a large
sign advertising the crash site on the west side of the road about 20
miles north of town. The site sits about eight miles from US 285 on
private land. It is closed to all but organized tours. Call 623-4043
and either Hub or Shiela Corn will set up a tour. Tours are $15 per
person. Children under 13 are free
