Beth in the Southwest Day 6



 Today was a transition day.  We left Terlingua, Texas early in the morning to drive to Carlsbad, New Mexico. 


Along the way, we made several stops including a roadside art installation in Marfa, Texas that is a replica of a Prada shop. Social commentary I guess. And yes, the Audi is part of the installation.  

At lunchtime we stopped for a picnic at the historic Frijoles ranch in the Guadeloupe mountains.  It is a homestead that was settled by several families in the late 1800s and early 1900s. 

From there we drove to Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico.  We spent several hours walking the trails inside the caverns. The rock formations and the amount of space the caverns occupy are truly amazing.  

After that, pizza dinner and hotel. Tomorrow we will do a long hike in Guadeloupe Mountains National Park. It's hard to believe it will be our last hike.
