We left Pendaries, New Mexico and drove to Carlsbad, New Mexico. The office building has the same design as KOA campgrounds. In fact, when I checked in the lady told me that the previous manager was now the manager at the KOA where we stayed in Laramie, Wyoming.
New Mexico seems to be all rock. We did learn about a new land form – hog’s backs. They are like hills but the sides are kind of sharp. Very short trees on the banks of the hills.
This is also an area where they have pistachios. And we passed through Roswell, New Mexico where there were supposedly aliens.
We took the pups to Sitting Bull Falls. To get there, we drove to the bottom of a canyon. There were many signs warning about flooding waters and to not drive through them.
It wasn’t a bad walk to a platform where we could see water falling from the top. There were swimmers in the pool at the bottom. They were picnic tables along the way that were heavily shaded. There was a big difference in the temperature in the shade.
Carlsbad does have some nice restaurants. We were not here long enough to do everything there was to do but we did enjoy our stay.
It was Chammie’s turn to drive!
