Day 75, Tuesday, 03/11/08

We drove 350 miles Monday from El Centro to Benson, AZ where we are currently at Karchner Caverns State Park. A beautiful system of caverns exists here and is now open for public touring. We did two tours today of different parts of the cave system. Great stuff, but we thought the park service kept the tour too dark for us to really see what was there.

We have encountered "big" winds out West this trip and more are in the forecast for this week. Our plans are to avoid driving in the 50-80 mph winds expected. So we will probably stay here for a third night with great weather in the forecast, then make a run to El Paso to "hunker" down for the winds Thursday and Friday. Then we will be off to Big Bend National Park.
