Guadalupe state park

Nice buck

Lonely campers

Nice formations

Light at the end of the tunnel

...From Big Bend we went to a smaller state park. At Big Bend we camped in a parking lot with water, power and sewer at Guadalupe Mountain it was similar... the best camp sites are for generators or tenting. The weather was sunny but cold. We turtled it by bringing in the bed slide for warmth. We didn't have cell or internet here. This was our camping out time. Had some mule deer in our back yard and a short hike up the trail saw a nice 4 point buck.

The drive along the highway from Seminole park to El paso is flat, dusty, and very vacant. Miles and miles of highway with a vehicle once every ten - 15 minutes and border inspection stops along the route... the loneliest and less populated area that we have been in since entering the states.

Jack visited the Carlsbad caverns from here.

Carlsbad caverns are huge, different levels and rooms. I took the workout route and rode the elevator down the 750 feet, toured and then 'walked up' the natural entrance trail, it's a bit of a hike!
