in a cavern...

​We spent the morning at Carlsbad Caverns. We could write descriptions, but the photographs really tell the story.

​To reach the Caverns, you walk down about 750 feet over 1.25 miles. Then the route around The Big Room is another 1.25 miles. The room itself is 4,000 feet long, 625 feet wide, and 255 feet high, making it the largest chamber in North America You can walk back up (ha!) or take an elevator. This is how Laura managed the excursion.

​The drive to Santa Fe was mainly flat and boring. Even Roswell had little to recommend it. But we are now in our lovely inn. We have museum visits and meals planned and won’t be deterred by the predicted SNOW tonight.
