Hi there.....
Well on Monday, February 26th, I made it to New Mexico. So far it doesn't look much different than Texas!!! LOL
I pulled into a KOA campground around 6pm, in Carlsbad, New Mexico. This was a great campground. It even had a hot tub there (which I took advantage of!!!) It was cool to be in the hot tub at night, in the middle of the desert, looking up at the moon and stars, and hearing coyotes in background howling!!!
After a good nights sleep I went out to explore the area. I went to the Meteor State Park. Here they had a small museum with all kinds of info on meteors.....(As those who know me will tell you one of my favorite things to do is watch meteror showers) After looking around museum you take a self guided walk around the area where they found the meteor that hit many years ago.
Then I headed to the Living Desert Zoo. This park has a visitors center that shows about human, wildlife, and plant life from this area. You then take a self guided tour around the park. It really was great to see the plant life and wildlife for the area. There are many signs to inform you about everything you are looking at.
When I finished at the zoo I decided the day was still young and headed for the Caverns. This state park was really great too. These caverns were much bigger and deeper than the ones I saw in Texas. They go down 839 feet below the surface. It really is quite a sight to see these natural formations!!!
Well it had been a long busy day...I ended it with another trip to the hot tub!!! LOL The next morning I was moving on......I'll be back with more on that. Love Donna
