Quickest, it seems would be US 84 to US 60/ 84 E. This would be to Fort Stanton, Clovis to Lubbock to Sweetwater; then keep angling down to Winters, Coleman, Brownwood, Lampasas & on to Austin.
Or could use US 54 S towards Alamogordo, then take US 380 E to Roswell at Carrizozo. US 54 is a really good road most of the way, but still has a few miles of narrow two lane traffic in places. Haven't been on it in about a year or more, it had construction on it last times we used it, making improvements. Not sure how much has gotten finished.
:C West of Roswell US 70/US 380 to US 54 - - - - - -> US 380 runs from Roswell to Carrizozo to San Antonio, between Carrizozo & US 70 one passes Billy the Kid Country & Lincoln & Smokey Bear in Capitan all in Lincoln County & the neat Valley of Fire BLM Campground is near Carrizozo, then take US 54 south to Alamogordo. Or US 380 to San Antonio, NM & I-25. Or US 54 N to Santa Fe.
:C A really neat place is the Valley of Fires BLM Campground (near Carrizozo) is a first rate campground with electric & water hookups, good dump station and a fine shower house. Pics & description can be found:
Campground . . and . . Cloudcroft, Lincoln/Capitan, Carrizozo/White Oaks. But no, it is not a Resort, just a really neat place. No pool.
White Sands Nat'l Monument & Alamogordo Area.
