After a short sunset bike ride last night, we enjoyed a nice full moon dinner. Also our first dose of chilly desert evenings last night. Went to bed in reasonably warm temperatures, but woke up in the middle of the night freezing! Added a new sleeping bag to our shopping list..
Blue skies and warm temperatures greeted us today for some local exploration. After breakfast we drove up to the Carlsbad caverns park. Turned out to be free parks week, a nice surprise. The hype about this park is true, it’s an unbelievable sight!! Spent about 2 hours to walk the entire loop, most of which is 750 feet underground.
Headed back to the trailer for lunch and a siesta. Unloaded our bikes and took off to check out the black river recreation area. A unique oasis in the middle of nothing.
Off to see the bats leave the cavern at dusk..
