CARLSBAD, NEW MEXICO |
| Paul takes a 3 mile hill run up to an old ruins and looks down on the campground. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| And he climbs higher to look down on the the water tank and phone tower. |
 |
 |
|
|
And finally he climbs to the top of the hill to get a panoramic view of a beautiful New Mexico landscape. |
|
| Boy is this going to be
difficult to put into words that can express the beauty and splendor of this
day! Instead of putting the day into words we hope that the following pictures will give you some sort of idea of what this area is like. If you like the west then you should see this for yourself once in your lifetime. This morning we drive up to Carlsbad Caverns, take pictures, and walk to the "natural entrance" to descend almost 800 feet down a switch-back path. After a little over a mile of countless view-points, we reach the dining area in the "big-room" and elevators which whisk us to the surface, almost 80 stories above. |

A four mile run on this Wednesday, March 3rd at sunset along a back-country desert road ends a near perfect day. |
|
| Trees... Rocks... and Other Things in the desert. |

 |
 |
| This morning we again drive up the mountain to "the cave". We take the easy way down, using the elevator instead of the natural entrance. Today we tour the "big-room". The beauty is indescribable |
