Cuzzie Bryan (honey) and his fiancee Monique met me here and took me to Carlsbad Caverns - quite amazing. We enter a cave and walk a mile below ground, or for about an hour. Fantastic renderings of rock formations appear all the way down, and even more abounding at the bottom. Pictures will probably do better than words:
 Initial descent - sunlight is still visible. |  |

 Wake-up service |  Cuzzie's fiancee Monique "lightning". 30 seconds after they arrived at my campsite we found her comfortably nesting in a nearby tree. I think she was more at home at the insectorium than I was.. |

I'm jealous! (except for the spiders, of course!) Don't forget to tap your sticks together to scare away the mountain lions!

i, too, am so jealous of your travels... you have the ultimate 'job' or whatever you want to call it. you're totally visiting all the places i've wanted to or have seen, but doing it 'right'!! p.s. this is one of the places i have yet to go to, but one day... when i grow up...
The first time I saw Carlsbad was with a guy who picked me up hitchiking. He had just got out of prison and found that his wife had left him. He was drunk the entire time. We visited Carlsbad together. His breath smelled like a baby's butt. But Carlsbad blew me away.
I hitchhiked back to Austin. My girlfriend let her apartment contract lapse. She took a split-cowhide pack I'd made and recut and sewed it into saddlebags for my motorcycle. We took her kids to her mom's in East Texas. We rode my bike to Fort Worth, Abilene, Carlsbad, then around New Mexico for a week, then back home. It was a bitch.
Glad you got to see Carlsbad.
