Carlsbad Caverns






Today, we went to the Carlsbad Caverns about 20 miles from where we have been camping. We went from flat, rocky, scrubby brush to hills to mountains---rocky mountains. The Visitors Center at the Caverns is perched on top of a mountain. You can either walk down to the main entrance or take an elevator. Since we were going on two tours that required 3+ miles of walking, we decided on the elevator. Once inside the cavern, the temperature dropped to about 56 degrees and a sweater or jacket became a necessity. We tried our hand at trying to capture some of what we saw on film but it was very dark and our pictures did not do justice to what God created.

  1. Hey Ron and Linda,
    It sure looks like you two are haveing a blast. We may surprise you some evening and give you a call to say hello. We are sure enjoying your photos and videos. I hope you are getting to relax a little, too.
    It looks like you are having great weather. GA has been having almost nonstop rain ever since you left. It's incredible. The lakes are now all back to normal levels after being down 18+ feet for several years. The mosquitos are all thriving and biting.
    Take care,
    Holly and Ray
