Day 2 at Carlsbad scheduled for a walk through a piece of the earth that 500 million years ago was under water. This is the magnificent main cavern in the national park. To enter we rode an elevator 750 feet underground. We met our guide Dave who led us through the caverns. Although we were told no photos, Dave gave us permission. Out came the cell phones to record the beautiful stalagmites and stalactites. One small fact: it takes 80 years for these cave Structures to grow one inch... look at the photos and wonder how many thousands of years these stalactites etc have been growing.
Onto Santa Fe, another 4 hour drive through the wild, Wild West.
