If you want to go to Roswell - US-70 across the White Sands Missile Range is a nice drive, and taking US-70 across the mountains through Ruidoso is the best road across the range.
The White Sands Missile Range Museum is fascinating and open to the public though it is on the Army base.
White Sands National Monument is worth a stop, also with a museum in Alamogordo.
From Roswell, US-285 cuts straight back to I-10 at Fort Stockton, though the section between Carlsbad, NM and Pecos, TX had a lot of heavy oil field traffic and some rough spots due to such traffic in August 2014.
Or take US-380 east from Roswell to US-87 in Texas and down to Fredericksburg near New Braunfels.
Making the trip in three days is going to be mostly windshield time with very little opportunity for stops / sight seeing.
