Carlsbad, New Mexico

Yesterday Barbara and I left Medina Lake and headed northwest to the town of Fort Stockton, Texas. After an overnight stop there, this morning we headed north to Carlsbad, New Mexico. Tomorrow Barbara and I are going to visit Carlsbad Caverns National Park and then later in the week we are planning on visiting the Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The Guadalupe Mountains are home to the world’s most extensive Permian fossil reef and the four highest peaks in the state of Texas.

This evening while we were relaxing at the RV park we were treated to an amazing New Mexico sunset. This is something I really enjoy about the southwest desert. Generally, when there are clouds in the sky and it’s not raining a colorful sunset is almost a given. Take a look!
