Stopping in Dallas

985 miles...about 4000 to go  Grateful for good travels today. And the hospitality we have been blessed with along the way so far.

Camping in Carlsbad

Camping site in Carlsbad Cavern .

We went down into the cavern . A 700 ft decent with Switchback trail that felt like going down into the Grand Canyon in the dark with a roof over our heads. We saw so many amazing formations and learn some geology as we took a 2 mile loop around the Big Room.  We rode the elevator up. The girls earned their Junior Ranger badges and got a cool patch.

On our 8 hour drive to Phoenix  we saw ever changing scenery.  Desert, to high alpine forest, to rocky cliffs, White Sand Dunes NP,  then on to Saguaro NP.  These cactus are the size of trees.  They are really neat looking for these Georgians who have never seen anything like them.   But not my favorite place, the kids got attacked by jumping cacti, and several of us got some pricklies that sting.  One wrong step or trip and Bad News!!! 

For the next few days we are regrouping in Phoenix and then on to the Grand Canyon.

Have Moore Adventure!

We are beginning a new video blog, created by Emma and Clare to document all of our adventures on our Roadtrip West 2016! We are going to lots of amazing places and will be learning so much. We wanted to be able to look back at the girl's initial reactions to sights like the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone! This is just our fun way of preserving memories for our family. Hopefully you will enjoy our fun little videos too! Here are the first two videos: Shakedown Trip to Biltmore and Brevard
