WOW, WOW, WOW

I don't know what else to say. Woke up in VanHorn Texas as the sun was just coming up--what a beautiful place surrounded by mountains.
Headed up into the Guadalupe Mountains (wonderful-I intend to ride them one day) to the Carlsbad Caverns. As the guide says--maybe not the biggest or longest cave in the world--just the most beautiful. Absolutely jaw dropping from end to end and we were able to enjoy it with no crowds--you only saw a few people in 2.5 hours of hiking in the cave.
Drove in to Mayhill, NM up at around 7,000 feet. Arrived to 8 deers in our camp--they stayed all evening and after about 40 minutes 22 wild turkeys also arrived to entertain us-the cats were in heaven.
Next morning drove over the pass at 9,000 feet and continued our drive to Tucson. Stopped at the White Sands National Monument--wonderful miles of gypsum sand-took a hike thru the dunes and then spent the rest of the day trying to get gypsum out of the motor home.
Arriving in Tucson on saturday and stay with our friends the Bodines' for a few days before heading back to Yuma in time for Thanksgiving.
