Carlsbad Caverns

Remember the nice pictures of the Pecos River in Carlsbad from yesterday? Poppa found out today that the river is dammed up below the town. We went exploring and I met these friends by the dam:





Here's the real Pecos River below the dam. It's only 15 feet across, and Poppa could wade across it without getting his knees wet!




We toured the Carlsbad Caverns today. They are incredible! We were 800 feet underground. Poppa took this picture of Nana and me:





There wasn't very much light, so we're hard to see. Later in the tour, Park Ranger Robby turned off all the lights and Poppa took this picture of me:




We learned a lot from Park Ranger Robby. Maybe when I grow up I'll be a Park Ranger. Don't I look good in uniform?





The caverns are in the Guadalupe Mountains, which are next to a flat area that used to be a sea. You can see there isn't any water in that sea now:
