We made it to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. At this National Park is the worlds deepest limestone cave and six-story speleothems. We took an elevator down 750 feet (or a 75 story sky scraper) into what is called “The Big Room”. Once in the Cavern we walked around for over a mile looking at rock formations that are formed over many years as water droplets trickle down the limestone and calcify in the cave’s cool, moist environment. The inside of this cave is a 14-acre chamber. Just spectacular!!!!! After we toured the cave we sent out towards Santa Fe, but stopped in Roswell, New Mexico. Roswell is a small town known only for it’s dairy industry until in 1947 an “alien spacecraft” reportedly crashed on a ranch. The ranch owner took so me debris to Forth Worth and US Army Intelligence. He was told to step out of the room, and claims that, when he returned, the original debris had been replaced with pieces of weather balloon wreckage. Later Rowell undertaker Glenn Davis received a strange call from the Army air field, asking how many child-sized caskets he had in stock and how to preserve bodies that had been exposed to weather. A nurse was brought in to examine several bodies. She was transferred to England the next day, but before leaving, gave Davis hand-drawn picture of the alien forms she had examined. Ok, in fear of sounding like a big geek, we will stop talking about aliens = ) So MUCH LOVE to you all!!!! Namaste!
