end of Nov.

Carlsbad Caverns- another place where “there are no adequate words”…or pictures. We walked down into the Caverns two days- 1.2miles down 800 ft. and then into the Cavern rooms- one day a ranger-led tour of King’s Palace and the other day self-guided through the Big Room- which would hold US Capitol Buildings!

Then on to Guadalupe Mountains National Park in northwest Texas- a quiet little park on the side of the mountain. It’s biggest claim to fame is the remnants of a stagecoach stop along a route from St. Louis to California- they could get the mail there in 22 days, guaranteed!
