380 is a good road, but has some stretches of narrow shoulders. Between Roswell and San Antonio, NM 380 passes through Billy the Kid and Smoky the Bear country. Fort Stanton is worth a stop too, if you like history.
West of Carrizozo you will be traveling along the north end of White Sands Missile Range (Trinity Site 14 mi south of road) and through Valley of Fire (lava beds) Rec area. Some twists and turns with a few grades but nothing significant.
Fuel up in Roswell and try a Blakes Lota Burger (green chile cheese burger) on Main St in Socorro. Some people like the Owl Cafe in San Antonio for green chile burgers but I prefer Blakes. The Owl is just to greasy for my taste but to each his own.
Getting into a station in Socorro can be a problem but there is a truck stop at Lemitar, NM, 6 miles or so north of Socorro on I-25.
