Today was another long day of driving. We were up later than planned last night, which made us later getting started this morning than was originally planned. We finally got on the road out of Wewoka, OK about 9am, heading west on I-40 to Amarillo, TX. From there is was south on I-27 to Lubbock, TX, continuing on US62 through Seminole, TX to Carlsbad, NM, arriving at 7pm (after another time zone change).
We used the GPS unit to find a hotel in Carlsbad, and called ahead from about an hour out of town to book the very last room available. When we arrived, we stopped just long enough to check in and get the room keys, and then headed on down the road to the Carlsbad Caverns National Park, the focal point of our visit here. We arrived just in time to catch the Ranger talk about the cavern's bats, and then sat and watched the thousands of bats fly out of the cave entrance in a black blur.
Tomorrow, we will head back to the caverns to explore underground (and out of the heat!). After we finish there, we'll probably head up the road to our next destination, Roswell, NM.
