Friday we just hung around the campground and visited with our neighbors. Saturday Lynn went shopping with six ladies from the park. They went to a craft show at a school and some local shops then stopped for lunch. Lynn said she had a lot of fun. I fixed a shower door for the lady next door and helped another friend install a new counter top in his Casi ta. Today we went to Carlsbad Caverns and walked through the caves. it was cold this morning and very fogy driving up the mountain to the park. The fog was freezing on the plants when we got to the top. The caverns run for a hundred miles under New Mexico and have not all been explored yet. The old geezer pass covered the entrance fee of $20 each, boy that thing has really paid for it's self. We took the elevator down 750 feet to the cave and hiked for two hours through the Big Room. All I can say is WOW this place is awesome. It reminds me of walking up to the edge of the Grand Canyon for the first time, it just takes your breath away. The pictures do not do it justice, it is too dark for the camera to see very far. If you are ever in this area this is a must see. It is spectacular. We will be heading for Dallas Tuesday and the weather looks good. Stay safe and warm.

We will be in Shreveport starting today. I don't know where your staying in the Dallas area, but the Hickory Creek Corp park is just outside Dallas and your geezer pass gets you $9.00 a night camping. It is a great park and just north of Dallas.Drive safe
