Prior to departing for Las Cruces, NM, we visited Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The Guadalupe Mountains are among the best examples of a marine fossil reef. Geologists come from around the world to marvel at this extraordinary phenomenon that formed 260 - 270 million years ago. During that time a tropical ocean covered portions of what is now Texas and New Mexico. Over millions of years calcareous sponges, algae, and other lime-secreting marine organisms precipitated from the seawater. Along with lime, they built up to form the 400 mile long horseshoe-shaped Capitan Reef. Karla and I spent a few hours battling the hot temperatures and intense sun hiking the more moderate trails.
The next 3 nights we boondocked (Harvest Host) on our way home to Sedona visiting 2 golf courses and a deserted farm. All three locations provided ample opportunity for walking/hiking, relaxing, enjoying good food, and reveling the scenery.
We arrived home yesterday eager to resume our Sedona lives. Another adventure made possible only with RVMakes3. Karla and I are grateful for the time we have and the friends and family we see and meet along the way. We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you soon. And (as always), we are coming to a driveway near you. Take care and Go Bengals!
