Photos Used In This Blog

Many of the photos I use in this blog will be made using my smartphone and others with my DSLR camera. I hope you will not mind me posting with the smartphone since we can do it while we are on the move and from any location where we have phone service. I think the smartphone photos will be of lower quality so I hope you will understand.

Wednesday.. Carlsbad Caverns Today

We're in Midland, Texas tonight as we work our way back home.

We said we're not going to go to Carlsbad Caverns National Park but we ended up going today anyway. We really enjoyed it and had never seen caverns like this. We took one of the elevators down which goes down 750 feet or 75 stories to start seeing the cave.. Reta Is claustrophobic but this did not bother her. It is really beautiful inside and I think the most beautiful cave I've ever seen inside. We were told that it had been chosen as the most beautiful caverns in the world. One thing that amazed me was the area they call the Big Room.The length extends for one quarter of a mile. We are very glad we took time to go. I took lots of photos and since we got here late tonight, I will not post them tonight but I will at a later time if they are worthy of posting. The caverns were discovered by a 16 year old boy in 1898.
