So much for the dry desert southwest! It’s raining here in Carlsbad, New Mexico and has been since Saturday. In a town designed for dry conditions, we ran through several deep puddles in the Honda Saturday night and soaked the electricals causing us to breakdown about 5 miles from the RV park. Good Sam sent a flatbed and the three of us crammed into its cab with the driver for a ride back to our RV. There’s no Honda dealership in Carlsbad so the car was taken to Hobbs about 75 miles away. Fortunately, their repair shop seems to have fair pricing, so we’re having several minor issues fixed while it’s there. Since it was Gera’s idea to visit the caverns here, I “let” her unhook the RV connections yesterday and we drove it up the mountain for the tour. We took the elevator down 750 feet from the surface and walked the 2.6 mile loop. Pictures don’t do justice to the amazing natural formations in there.
All the rain is making it very difficult for me to know if the way I feel is a result of environment, weather or something else. Humidity plays some factor in my fatigue flare-ups. It’s why I left Florida for the “dry” West in the first place. But, it’s actually colder here today than it is in Fargo, North Dakota and snow is falling in the higher elevations just north of here. I guess El Nino has returned.
