Early this morning we returned to Carlsbad Caverns and this time we entered through the Natural Entrance, past the Bat Flight Amphitheater where we remember watching the bat flight at dusk one evening in September 1974. No bats there today though. They’ve gone south to Mexico for the winter. Today we opted for the ranger led King’s Palace Tour. The ranger embarrassed us by making a big deal out of the fact that we’d been there to celebrate our first anniversary and were back to celebrate our thirty-fifth!
Our adventure in Halifax was an extremely informative visit to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic coupled with a beautiful walk from the ship and back again.
What, no wild cave tour?! I bet Carlsbad would be an awesome cave to explore on one’s stomach.
You should have just grinned when the ranger mentioned thirty five years.
