Carlsbad New Mexico


Tuesday April 17th.

Carolyn and I were saddened yesterday with the news of the Virginia Tech shootings on Monday. What a terrible tragedy to occur in such a peaceful setting. Tragic in any setting.

We drove to Carlsbad Caverns this morning. The drive itself was striking for its views of the rolling hills and crossing over part of the Guadalupe mountain range, although this end of it was only a few hundred feet high. The drive into the National Park was, again, very striking as we traveled through valleys and along hillsides and over ridglines on a winding road that took us through the best of the park. The Caverns were as beautiful and awe inspiring as the best that I had ever heard told of them. This is one of 57 pictures that we took in the Big Cavern.
