As the two RV Gypsies were driving to the world famous UFO Watch Tower, they noticed several billboards and unique signs for an Alligator Farm. They wondered why would an Alligator Farm be in Colorado! Not that they wanted to go to the Alligator Farm anyway because they had a house in Florida from 1979 - 2008, and have seen lots of alligators.

Well, they photographed the signs and thought that maybe they might check it out further after going to see the aliens at the UFO Watch Tower. (But of course, they never did go back to the Alligator Farm.)

Suddenly a dust storm caught their attention (the dust storm photos are at the bottom of this page, after the UFO Watch Tower photos).

The UFO Watchtower was easy to find, as it is just north of the small town of Hooper on Highway 17, not far from Great Sand Dunes National Park. And there were blue and green aliens pointing the way.

Below: The funky alien with red eyes, and another alien tangled in the American Flag pointed the way to the parking lot and Healing Garden.

Below: There was a little dust storm in the far distance - and several aliens pointed the way to the parking lot.

Below: A green alien dude gave the two RV Gypsies the peace sign, but the two RV Gypsies really wondered who these miniature guys were and whether they were really friendly!

Below: The two RV Gypsies relaxed in their environment when they saw the aliens were flying USA flags.

Below: Karen Duquette found a new friend - a very sexy blue alien, and she gave him a kiss.

Below: Lee Duquette became buddies with a tall green alien, and almost turned into an alien himself, before Karen Duquette rescued him.

NO, the two RV Gypsies did not camp here - it was only for tent camping.

At the UFO Welcome Center, the two RV Gypsies were told that everyone leaves something behind to make peace with the aliens and that they should go upstairs to the viewing area.

Below: The aliens sure were friendly with Karen Duquette, and they let her peak out of the windows of their spaceship. But her hat blew away and Lee Duquette had to catch it.

Below: The two RV Gypsies were told that they should leave something of importance in the Healing Garden, so they decided to honor their son Brian Duquette by letting a green alien be guardian of Brian's Memory Card.

Below; This really endearing Healing Garden is made up of all types of items that people have lovingly placed throughout the area.

Below: There was a green alien showing the two RV Gypsies the way out and another alien waving them good-bye.

Below: The two RV Gypsies drove back towards Great Dunes National Park and along the way, they saw a small dust storm in the distance. As the two RV Gypsies drove on, they watched the dust storm grow bigger and bigger, then it just dissipated into nothing.
