Petrified Forest National Park

We Made It!

After driving hours and hours we made it the Arizona
state line!

Roswell, NM

We drove through Roswell, NM on our way to Arizona.

Carlsbad, NM

We stopped in Carlsbad, NM to tour Carlsbad Cavern
and to watch the nightly bat flight program where thousands
and thousands of bats exit the cave each night to search
for food. We did the 3.9 mile hike to the bottom and then
opted to ride the elevator back to the top.

Scenes from the KOA campgrounds

Each KOA campground we stayed at was different from
the next. Some had pools... some had fun activities. It was
fun to see what the next one would offer.

San Antonio

We made a short pit stop in San Antonio to see the Alamo
and take a river walk boat cruise.

Camper Living

This year we stayed with Uncle Matthew, Aunt Brittney,
Elizabeth, and Spencer in their camper. It definitely added
all kind of fun to this Gaines Geaux West adventure. We all
hope it do it again next year.

On The Road

Gaines Geaux West had officially started! Here are a few
scenes from the many many hours spent in the truck.
