This morning in Santa Fe we wakened to snow patched on the ground, snow flurries in the air, and black skies to the north. So of course we headed south – to Carlsbad Caverns National Park, near the town of Carlsbad, New Mexico in the southeastern corner of the state. We arrived at the Caverns in time to do a quick self guided tour of The Big Room. It’s incredibly massive with unbelievable geologic formations everywhere. It’s one of those places the camera just cannot even begin to capture the wonder. We can only say “Wow!”
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
