Like its counterpart in Roswell, the old Carrizozo library was for sale.

Although the Lincoln County Courthouse was a bit too modern for my tastes, there was a neat sign out front with a map of the county's towns and attractions.

I spent the night at the Rainbow Inn: " Your Pot of Gold at the End of the Day."

The Rainbow Inn proudly advertised its amenities.

And there was even a rainbow on my door.

Despite the sun-faded, barely legible sign, the Tastee Freez at the north end of town was indeed open for business.
