it is time to leave alamogordo and white sands and head to the carlsbad
caverns
well i've arrived to my camp which is another blm site outside of another national park this one
is nothing to write home about they aren't always something to write home about sometimes it's just
a place to lie your head at night and that's what this is kind of a dirt lot right off of the main
highway today's drive was pretty easy only about three hours so not too tired but i'm gonna still
make something pretty simple for dinner tonight usually on travel nights i like to make something
simple so i'm just gonna have some ravioli with some pesto sauce it sounds pretty good
and tomorrow we get to explore the carlsbad caverns i'm super excited they look just awesome
really cool we'll have to see how the photography turns out in there but i'll do my best to
create some beautiful shots i'm excited
it may not look that appetizing but it smells awesome and i'm sure it's gonna taste
great
good morning today is looking like a perfect day to explore a cave let's get into the park
one of the largest underground chambers ever discovered lies within carlsbad cavern
which is a virtual labyrinth of chambers though the total length of rooms and passages
is not known the explored area of the main cavern is more than 30 miles long
carlsbad caverns decoration of stalactites stalagmites and an incredible variety of
other formations began slowly over 500 000 years ago after the cavern
had formed at a time when a wetter cooler climate prevailed creation of
each formation depended on water that dripped down into the limestone bedrock and into the
cave
so
carlsbad cavern is a sanctuary for hundreds of thousands of brazilian free-tailed bats
