After my car got fixed up, we headed out of Austin into the great infinite expanse known as West Texas. Everywhere was few and far between here, so after a short sleep at a creepy motel, we left in the morning and continued on towards Carlsbad, Nu Mexico. As usual, we made sure to skate whenever possible.
After hours of driving, we finally made it up to Carlsbad, New Mexico. It was a beautiful drive up a mountain to get to the entrance of the caverns, but we were excited to go into the largest cavern in all of North America.
WOW. So far this was shaping up to be the coolest day of Stew Tour. It was amazing in the cave!
We realized shortly after entering that not only were we super hungry, but dehydrated. This made the rest of our time in the cave very interesting/entertaining.
Hmm........Possible?
These caves are something that everyone needs to see before die, trust me. They are huge, and beautiful.
I could not leave this amazing landmark in America without giving it a little stew-venir.
We walked around the "big room" of the caves for about an hour. Finally our hunger got the best of us and we ran to the elevators to go make sandwiches.
After the caves and a delicious PB, honey, and granola sandwiches, we stuck around to watch the bats fly out of the cave at dusk. It was also incredible, but then we realized it was dark and we still did not have a place to camp. One of the rangers suggested we drive down the road to a side street and set up camp. We did that, but then we realized he wanted us to camp here:
So anyways, we decided not to camp there. We kept on driving down to the Guadalupe Mountains and set up camp there and it ended up being the perfect ending to a beautiful day.
Goodnight America.
