A 3D day!
Delight: The overnight chill woke me up early this morning, allowing me to see the gorgeous sunrise!
Disappointment: The town of Marfa boasts galleries, however, all were closed this morning. I walked around a bit, noticing hints of previous glamor.
Discovery: Searching for a campsite near Carlsbad Caverns National Park, I made a two-night reservation at Pine Springs Campground. Surprise! This campground is not in Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Instead, it’s in Guadalupe Mountains National Park! The small campground – really, blacktop with white paint marking campsites – shares trailheads to 85 miles of trails. Of course, I had to explore one once I got set up!
