Here's some old posts with info for some of I-10 & areas off of it (also has links for I-40 (Northern NM & AZ)):
Tucson/Arizona, New Mexico & Texas ---- Ditto but Expanded with Northern NM Plus ---- Near Carlsbad Area New Mexico
Las Cruces ::::::::: I-10 to San Antonio ::::::::: US 285 Detour to Santa Fe from I-40 :::::: Back Roads New Mexico
West of Roswell US 70/US 380 to US 54 :::::::::::: Flagstaff - Gallup - Grants- Albuquerque - Santa Fe - Plus
PS: one can reach Santa Fe/ABQ from Carrizozo via US 54 to NM 3 to US 285 N to I-25 S to Santa Fe then to ABQ.
Never done any Sightseeing in Roswell, NMMI Museum Might be Interesting or the Sinkhole Lakes @ Bottomless Lakes State Park. A Visit at RMAC and seeing Art might be cool. Nice Drive up to Mountains on US 70 W to Ruidoso Area from Roswell. I enjoyed The Hurd La Rinconada Gallery with it's Wyeth family connection at San Patricio on US 70 (3.5 miles past US 380 turn off). Deer Crossing RV (50+) Park near San Patricio (never stayed, no bargain); had been PassPort America, but not now it seems.
To avoid some of I-10 in Texas, one could use the US 90 Route from Van Horn to San Antonio. Not so raceway speeds on it. I-10 in parts of Texas (West of San Antonio) have a speed limit of 80 mph. It can seem like a raceway.
