the mesas & escarpments.
 Eric and I stop to view an exhibit.  It's an Indian Rock Shelter.





Eric inspects the shallow

Smoke residue embeds
the ceiling of the shelter.

Ashes & bones have
been found here.



coats blend into the
terrain.

"Eagle eye Eric" spotted
 them.

 Eric pulls off the road to admire the landscape.

The fire threat is low
today.





Eric and I are hiking into Carlsbad Caverns today.  The elevators are broken and the only access to the Caverns is by way of the Natural Entrance.
