We left San Antonio at 7:30 a.m. for Carlsbad, NM. We traveled the 450 miles in 7 1/2 hours. There were sections where the speed limit was 80 mph. The scenery was varied with areas of plateaus, mountains, and flat lands. The drive from the interstate route 10 to Carlsbad was through several very small and desolate towns. There were times when there was no car in sight in either direction. Both sides of the road were endless flat lands with an occasional cow or horse. We did see a number of oil wells pumping. Sure glad we did not have any car trouble!
We are staying about 20 miles from the caverns which open at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow. We will leave in the morning hoping to get into an early morning tour group.
More later . . .
