Carlsbad Caverns , New Mexico 2022 and the road to Santa Fe 12/2

 Last day in Carlsbad area. Let's see what this day brought.









I took the natural entrance which led to the big room. It's self guided though you can have the tour if that is what you desire. 750 feet of underground rock formations below. This will take roughly 1.5-2.5 hrs to finish It really depends if you stop to take pics or not. There is an elevator that gets you down and up from here. You want to use it on your way back up. It will lead you to the gift shops. This park is worth the the see. There are some really beautiful stalagmite deposits here. You have to see it to believe it. If you do have the annual pass, make sure you bring it to the cashier area with you. You have to pay a small price for a certain time which was only a $1 but the pass will save you $15.  In this national park, don't leave the pass in your car for once. 

Road to Santa Fe. 




This was a long drive! Almost 4.5 hrs if you don't stop that is. I had to make roughly two pit stops at least. Roswell is the city that is the last of all civilizations prior to getting to Santa Fe. You will hit Vaughn and Encino which are ghost towns along the way. Very eerie. 

Eventually, I was able to catch the sunset at "The Cross of the Martyrs." Anyhow, this day completed. Thank you for tuning in. And see you next time for the last day in New Mexico via Santa Fe.

Without it, you can't do any of these activities from 600AM to 4PM. Good luck in getting one. It gets you all amped up trying to get one. Remember, that you need this pass along with the annual national park pass/or $35 pass that is good for 7 days. Add that to the top of your anxiety.* Logan Pass Hike (very popular area. I came at 800AM and got the last parking stall.) Mountain Goats or Rams sighted along with Chipmunks.

Thank God for a good day in Waikiki Oct 5, 2020

  What a better way to start your two week vacation? Yep, a staycation thanks to your government locking you up even denying you the chance to do inter-island traveling. Thank the Lord for my profession for I was able to secure a free night at the Outrigger; there was a promotion for health care professions that allowed you to get a night free only at the Outrigger. 2nd night and beyond at a first responder discount rate. Wish more hotels did this. Anyhow, let's get started. Yeah, Waikiki was like this Dinner and aftermath Moana Surfrider That was it. Had dinner with the family and my nephew. Just walked around a quiet Waikiki to take pics of the hearts all over. 2nd night coming soon. Thank you Lord Jesus for a good day.
