OK really fast because we lost the first blog written due to Internet errors..
So we Spent a second day at Carlsbad and got up early to explore an unimproved cave. IT WAS AWESOME! But the hike up to the cave... not so much. Nadeen trying to be super woman made me look bad (for the first time so far). I was dying! haha I think maybe because it was too early in the morning or at least that's what I'm going with. Anyway the cave had no lights so it was just us, our flashlights, 10 other people and their flashlights, and the two guides.
At one point of the cave we were over our head in bat poop... it sounds worse than it is. But a quick lesson.. apparently they used to mine in the cave for the bat poop and bring it out my the truck load. Bat poop is a great fertilizer for plants, and well being in New Mexico that's pretty valuable for all the farming that goes on out there (we saw pecan farms mostly).
Check out the pictures on facebook though to see all the cool formations and columns inside the cave, although it wont be as cool as in person.
At the end of the day we went to out first drive in movie ever!! It was exciting. We took a couple of banana fudge sundaes from sonic and sat in the comfort of our own car and watched Cope Out on the big screen. After working out how to sit, angle the car, and get sound (a good minute or two after the movie started) it was quite enjoyable.
That's all... I said real quick and now Nadeen is reminding me of that. :)

Oh yeah and to go with Nadeen's title we saw quite a bit of snow on the drive through the mountains of New Mexico. Neither of us thought the first snow we would see on the trip would be in Texas and certainly not that the second would be in New Mexico.
