Checked into a motel last night after nine days camping. Not because we were tired of camping but we got into El Paso and the air quality was awful. The winds here have been a steady 25 mph with gusts to 40. The dust in the air is visible here. Will check the weather this am and head somewhere less windy!
We went from Amarillo to just outside of Carlsbad NM. Yesterday we went into the national park. Usually there is an elevator that will take people to the floor of the cave which is 1.5 miles below the surface but their elevators (4 of them) are broken and have been broken for two months. Happy national parks centennial! We watchEd numerous people who turned away including a vet with an artificial limb. Shame on you NPS. The cave is the only attraction here. We walked about .half way down but our knees and my claustrophobia did us in. Nonetheless it was the biggest cave I was ever in.
Went on to Gaudalaupe Mounain NP where we had intended to camp but wind advisories were up for 50-60 mph gusts so that won't work . We camped in sustained 25 mph winds the previous two nights. That's enough for me! We did a small hike at the NP and then onto El Paso and the comforts of a nice motel. Pictures as always will come with Carole's posts
A couple of folks have told me they can't comment on the blog. I'm not sure what to tell you as I am at the limits of my tech ability. When I started blogging 10 years ago it was pretty straightforward (and I was ten years younger) but when I put together this blog it was much more complicated so I am sure I've done something wrong that is locking out some of you out. I've tried but can't seem to find it. Kathy
