Carlsbad

Today we went to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. That was an amazing experience. Took about three hours to walk through the caverns.
The cave is vast and huge. 750 feet below ground is a huge room, at least 100 foot high, with all the formations you usually find in a cave.
In the afternoon we went to the Guadalupe Mountains in Texas, just across the border.
Great mountains.
The desert is fairly well in bloom too, so there were neat flowers here and there.
Did not see a lot of wildlife.
In the evening we went back to Carlbad Caverns to check on the bats. Allegedly bats come out of the cave at sunset. we only saw a couple but it was raining.
We watched rain storms all day long. We could see them to the south, the east and the west, but we only got rained on late in the day.
Tomorrow we are going to Roswell, to the museum of UFO's.
More scenic drives in store too.
