Day 5: Carlsbad Caverns

Too amazing to describe.  Incredible and fascinating.  Beautiful and awe-inspiring.  It went on for hours.  We walked miles and still didn't get tired of the cave formations. There were rooms upon rooms.  Every time we turned a corner, we saw a new, amazing thing.  Pictures definitely won't do it justice.

The natural entrance

Drive on the way in

The thick pieces are called draperies








Drive on the way out.  On the way in, Steve and the girls saw a tarantula crossing the road!!

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a cave and a cavern?
Our tour guide told us: Every cavern has a nurse.  Get it?  Cave + RN = Cavern.
