Carlsbad Caverns
Woke up at 6 AM and started working. Emails, bank accounts, etc.
The lonely hard life of EPPdF, slaving away in the Hampton Inn Carlsbad, in King Suite.
I know.
I'll get thru it.
Exactly the same as being chopped into small pieces and fed to lions.
Exactly the same.
Checked out of the Hotel before 10 so that I could go to T-Mobile and replace the dead battery in my Droid. No such luck.
T-Mobile is not very popular out here.
Not real popular where I'm sitting either.
Got out to the Carlsbad Caverns around 11:00. Beautiful. Worth the trip.
Will right more later.
For now:

Stopped in Artesia, NM to cool off and search for a T-Mobile Store - no luck.
Went into the Wellhead Bar & Restaurant and had a nice chat with Tiff behind the bar.
Great place and a really nice lady. Check 'em out.

From Artesia I took 82 (or was it 54?) thru Cloudcroft. Beautiful drive and made the afternoon heat worth it. The ride takes thru the Lincoln National Forest/State Park.
Slowly, the limestone ridges give way to granite and mountains start to form. At one point the mountains off to my left looked the undulating backs of the herds of buffalo. (Don't know if buffalo lived this far south but that's just the way they look).
As the road rises from 4,000 feet to 9,000 feet, the oppressive heat subsided and the smell of pine and cedar filled the air. It was a gorgeous ride.
The road twists and turns and you gradually get high enough to see all of the mountain range that used to belong to the Mescalero Apaches and to the Comanches. Gorgeous.
