Category: Cross Country Trip 2018

27 March 2018

It was supposed to be a recovery day, but in searching for something easy to do, I decided to revisit Carlsbad Caverns.  I originally visited Carlsbad either in 1971 or 1972 while stationed on board the CGC Reliance in Corpus Christi.  I was simply driving around during a period of leave and happened upon the park just in time for the bat flight.  That in itself was amazing, but later when saw photos in National Geographic of the big room, I was surprised to see a full service restaurant at the bottom (it’s no longer there – just sandwich concessions).

I remember reading somewhere (National Geographic?) that there is a theory that Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is connected to Carlsbad Caverns via subterranean passages.

I figured this would be an easy, leisurely stroll through the mostly flat trails.  Wrong!  The elevator was out of service and the only way into the caverns was by a 1.25 mile descent of over 700 feet – the equivalent of a 79 story building (oh my aching knees).  Of course, that meant 1.25 miles back out of the caverns, all uphill.

I decided in for a penny, in for a pound and walked the 1.25 mile Big Room Trail.  All in all that was a 3.75 mile trip.  Again, it was the downhill that was the worse.  Once at the bottom, the trail flattened out.

The trails are all completely paved with rubberized material, so it’s easy on which to walk.  Every so often, the park service carved out benches for people to rest on the way back up, but some of the downhill travelers availed themselves of the seats also.

Carlsbad Caverns is fascinating and very well maintained.  There were park rangers all over the place and everyone walking the cave were very respectful not to touch formations.

Parents cautioned their kids about needing to whisper so as to not disturb people and for the most part, they did.

After the tour of the Big Room, I decided on a sandwich for lunch washed down by a gatorade.  I didn’t want a repeat of the chills.  A young couple from Connecticut joined me at the table for lunch. They were planning on hiking Guadeloupe Peak tomorrow so I told them a few things to look out for and to prepare for.  They were appreciative.  We then began a discussion of favorite National Parks (hers was Zion, mine was Glacier or Big Bend).  That got us into a discussion on Big Bend and other hikes.  They left for the King’s Chamber tour and I headed back out to daylight.

I was amazed at the number of people who insisted on walking down and back out.  It included all ages and all physical abilities.  I’m not sure the cautions the park rangers gave them at the beginning of the tour sunk in until they were about half way into the cavern.

The trails were very crowded but everyone tried to make way for anyone on the uphill climb. As a rule, hikers give way to anyone hiking uphill.  You politely stand aside if you are descending and allow the uphill traffic to pass you. Surprisingly, everyone seemed to follow this intuitively.

I made it back to the surface around 1:30 pm, so the whole trip took me around 3 1/2 hours.  I surprised myself by making the uphill climb fairly easily and quickly.  The hike into and out of the caverns are considered strenuous and I would agree.  The incline can be pretty severe at times.

That gave me enough time to stop at the Walmart in Carlsbad and buy laundry detergent and wash clothes at the hotel.  I’m now all clean again and ready to head out tomorrow to Saguaro National Park near Tucson.  I’ll be camping out there at a close by state park since there are no campgrounds other than wilderness campgrounds sans water in Saguaro.

OK, I admit it, I severely overdid it today.  I was so tired when I got back to the car, I could hardly walk.  My ankles were aching and my right knee tried to go out several times.  I can walk uphill, albeit very slowly, all day but the downhill kills me.  It was worse in the trail was steep at the beginning and at the end, so coming down really pounded my hips, knees, and ankles.

To add to the fun on the downhill, it started to rain and the rocks got very slick.  The trip to the top of Guadeloupe Peak should take the average hiker 6-8 hours.  It took me 9 1/2.  The wind was so strong that several times it almost blew me over.  After I got down, I headed for Carlsbad and pizza. When I got into the restaurant I started to get chills.  They finally stopped after I ate something, so I may have been out of energy.  I ate four times en-route to the top so I don’t think I was low on fuel but how else to explain the chills?  One benefit was my cough/cold seemed much better.

Even with the total exhaustion (it’s a four Advil night) I was thrilled to make it to the top.  Considering my age, I think this is the greatest physical challenge I’ve ever had.  Boot camp was not as physical as this and Coast Guard boot camp is extremely rigorous.

I rose at 6 am and had a quick breakfast and was on the road to Guadeloupe Mountains National Park by around 8:15 am.  I forgot Texas is on Central time so when I arrived at the park, it was already 9:30 am.  I was on the trail shortly after.  The trailhead intersects with a horse trail at mile 0.7.  As you steadily climb, you eventually come to a cliff where people with horses are told to dismount and walk their animals along the ledge.  That is a mile 1.5.

Later, you come to a neat bridge and you are again required to dismount if on a horse and walk them across.

You reach the back country campsite at 3.25 miles and you still have 1 mile to go to the summit – all uphill, sometimes hand over hand.  Everyone passed me on the trail.  I passed no one except those coming back down.  In the end, I was the last person on the mountain – not my preference – but I had to stop and rest the knees more frequently the further I hiked downward.

Growing age reduces your physical viagra on line capacity. I met some great people on the hike.  There were two volunteers at the campsite picking up litter.  An Hispanic family kept checking on me to see if I was OK and they took my picture at the summit.  They also kept checking on me on the way down. Roundtrip was 8.5 miles although my gps said 10 miles.  It felt like 100.

The scenery is drop dead beautiful.  The sky was overcast and the temperature was in the 60’s so it was perfect hiking weather.  The only drawback was the wind.

It was so powerful at the summit, you could only last up there for a few minutes.  At the summit, they have an army surplus ammo box with a journal.  You sign your name for posterity and replace it in the ammo box.  Everyone did exactly what they were supposed to do and no one abused the journal.  Hikers are just great people.

As you might guess, there was one runner who ran to the summit.  I fully expect to see him in the next Olympics.

As steep as our trail was, there was another that was even steeper.  I shudder to think of even trying to get up that trail.

Tomorrow is likely to be a recovery day.  I’ve already put the “do not disturb” sign on the hotel door.  Speaking of hotel, I am ecstatic that I ended up having to get a hotel.  I could not image camping out tonight in my physical condition.

I got a great night of sleep at Jo’s but I waked her with my coughing as I was getting up.  She made me toast and tea with a side of Texas sized blueberries and we had breakfast together, covering new territory with out conversations.  I reluctantly bid adieu around 7:30 am and headed for Guadeloupe Mountains National Park.  The traffic around San Antonio was the lightest I have ever seen it – the benefit of an early Sunday morning departure.

Some of you may know that after I chucked graduate school at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson (I just couldn’t face the idea of publish or perish nor did I think I was any good at original thinking and research) I went to live with my cousin Jo in San Antonio in 1984.  I lived with her for several months at her old address while holding down some really odd jobs.  Later, I temporarily relocated to Atlanta before the call came through for my years at Broward College. So, in essence, San Antonio is fairly familiar to me.

I-10 west carries you to within 2 hours of the Guadeloupe Mountains.  I made pretty good time since the speed limit was 80 mph most of the way (the cargo box is rated for 85 mph).  It came through without any problem but there was a little movement when some semi met you on the road.

The drive is quite beautiful, albeit flat as a pancake for a while.  Only when you get close to the Guadeloupe Mountains do you begin to see some significant hills and terrain.  Oil, oil and more oil is the business of this region.  They are either pumping it out of the ground via the conventional method or fracking it out.  Even with all the oil rigs and pumps and fracking stations, the wide open Texas skies are absolutely stunning.

The best laid plans gang aft agley. I got to the park before 3 pm and walked into the welcome center only to be told there were no tent sites available.  Since the park does not allow reservations, that must mean there is a huge number of people camping in the park in tents who got there before 3 pm.  The ranger suggested a Bureau of Land Management area at mile marker 10 (heading to Carlsbad, NM) which has free camping but no water.  The other option was hotels/motels in White City (near the park) or Carlsbad. I would have done the Bureau of Land Management area if it had water, but I didn’t want to fool with hauling water to the site for three nights.

The White City address is adjacent to Carlsbad Caverns National Park (I visited the caverns in 1972) and signage suggested you can find camping within the park.  Not so.  After driving 7.1 miles to the welcome center, I was told that the only camping was in White City (nothing but RV camping) or a state park north of Carlsbad.  I opted for a hotel room in Carlsbad.

I’m a member of Choice Rewards which gives you points for a stay.  I checked Choice options out and the rooms began at $254 per night!  With my membership, I got it at $250.  Even so, that’s almost as expensive as the Hilton in New Orleans.  I’m now camping at the Quality Inn and Suites in Carlsbad for three nights.  I’m sure if I had chucked the idea of camping due to no reservations and reserved a hotel room 6 months ago, I could have gotten a much better rate.  Oh well.

I’m about an hour drive from the park in Carlsbad so I’ll need to get up super early tomorrow to try my hand at climbing Guadeloupe Peak.

Most Texans know the peak as Signal Peak, but whether you called it Guadeloupe Peak or Signal Peak, it’s the highest point in Texas at 8,749 feet above sea level (I erred in previously blogging it at over 9,000).  The roughest part of the climb is the first mile and then it gets slightly less strenuous.  There is a 3,000 foot elevation gain from the beginning of the trail head.  The park recommends hikers set aside 6-8 hours for a round trip of a little over 8 miles.

I have no idea if I am physically able to climb this but I’m going to give it a try.  If you don’t read a blog post from me tomorrow night, I either fell off the mountain or died of a heart attack somewhere on the peak. Wish me luck!

It’s very difficult to get out of Lumberton, Texas.  My gps apparently was set to the shortest route.  I was routed through back country roads in Lumberton.  One in particular ended in a cow pasture and another was more a trail in the woods.  Ever since I upgraded the software on the gps, I get very weird directions.  Instead of taking about 15 minutes to get to I-10W, it took me at least 45 minutes to find a way to get to I-10.

Once on I-10, there was a traffic jam were we inched along for about 45 minutes.  Several times the gps had me get off I-10 (for no reason) and then re-enter I-10.  Whoever  did the software upgrade apparently phoned in the new coordinates while at some bar.

One of my favorite drives, strangely, is I-10 from Houston to San Antonio.  Not for the road but for Lady Bird Johnson.  In her “Beautify America” campaign, she had Texas roadsides seeded with blue bonnets, paintbrush, and other wildflowers.  Spring is the optimal time of the year on this stretch.  The combination of the blue of blue bonnets, the orange of paint brush, and the pink of primrose was pretty stunning.  It never fails to please.

Both of these rely on blood flow: greater the volume of blood transported to the cells then the greater the ability of these cells to produce energy. https://unica-web.com/documents/statut/ustatute.htm tadalafil discount Eventually, I made it to San Antonio.  My cousin Jo has a great old home built in the 1930’s in a beautiful section of San Antonio.  We spent the next hour hiking some nearby trails around the house and returned to get ready for dinner at Cappy’s where I had a great halibut dish and Jo had crab cakes.  We both had dessert after dinner: New Orleans Bread Pudding and for me, Toffee Bread Pudding.  I really enjoyed the place.  We sat on the patio and were able to talk.  The inside of the restaurant was nice, but like a lot of them, a little noisy so the patio was a perfect solution.

After we returned to the house, we spent the next few hours reminiscing about family, childhood, and current events.  It’s always special to get to visit with Jo and catch up on each other’s lives. We see too little of each other.  Jo’s sister Jimmie texted me a welcome to San Antonio from London (returning from a cruise).  We’ve all (sisters Jo, Jean, Jimmie, me and Archie) been close over the years, as children and adults.  Now, if I can get their sister Jean to visit in Fort Lauderdale….

While waiting to go to dinner, I called an old friend Larry Thrash.  Larry, like me, is retired and I had hoped he would be able to go to Guadeloupe Mountains National Park for some hiking but, like me, he’s had a few days of ill health plus house problems.  Hopefully, I can convince him and Bill to come down for some Fort Lauderdale time.  I first knew Larry when I was manager of Golden Memorial State Park in Walnut Grove, Mississippi and Larry was a student at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi. He came to work at the park as a lifeguard.  It’s a friendship that has lasted over the years.

Tomorrow I’m off to Guadeloupe Mountains.  It’s at least an eight hour drive.  I don’t have reservations there – it’s a first come, first serve basis campground.  I hope to spend three nights there and if I can, climb Guadeloupe Peak, the highest mountain in Texas at over 9,000 feet.  No promises other than an effort.  The park recommends you allot 8 hours for a round trip to the top and back.

23 March 2018

Well, it’s a full blown cold today with coughing and runny nose to make things unpleasant.  Fortunately, I don’t feel too ill.

I got up at my usual 4:30 am (CDT) and finally went to breakfast around 6:30 am.  I got back to my room and called Tanis but she had turned her phone off.  I figured they needed the sleep so I let them sleep in and I packed and loaded the jeep and was off about 8:30 am.

I left Tanis and message and a text.  I’m not real good at goodbyes anyway and I prefer they get a few extra winks of sleep before their long bus trip back to Mississippi. I so seldom get to see my brother and it’s always special when I get a chance to visit with them but I hate saying goodbye.

Funny how you think you have everything.  Check the room twice, three times and then again.  One thing I missed during my last cross country trip was a dirty clothes bag.  I bought one on the trip midway through and when I got home decided to put it someplace safe for any future trips.  Of course, I could not find the damned bag for this trip.  I turned the house upside down twice.  I then ordered two from Amazon and started to pack only one.  I finally threw the other in the suitcase as an afterthought.

I had started filling the first bag with dirty clothes from Tallahassee and New Orleans.  Guess what I left in the hotel?  It’s a good thing I have the second bag or I would have had to buy another en-route.  The hotel will ship the bag and my dirty clothes home for me via Fedex.  What a surprise I have waiting for me when I get home.

I was going to go the backroads to my overnight at Village Creek State Park in Lumberton, Texas, but when I found I was restricted to 45 mph in Louisiana on US 61, I decided to cut over the I-510 to Baton Rouge and make up some time.

I’ve decided you don’t miss too much by going interstate and in reality, the back roads are often just strip malls.  At least the interstate sometimes cuts through wilderness of a sort and you can get some pretty nice vistas.  In this case, I got some great views of the Achafalaya Wilderness Area and the flooding from the Mississippi.  The Bonnet Carre spillway was flowing to beat the band.

Unless you hit construction, you can make good time.  My gps did say there was a traffic jam on I-10W to Beaumont.  It certainly was.  It was backed up for about 10-15 miles – dead stop.  Fortunately, it was not in the west bound lane.  I wish the gps would tell you which direction the jam is clogging.

I made it to Village Creek State Park around 2:30 pm.  The entire park is closed for flooding except one campground.  The sites are fairly nice and I got to pitch my new one-man tent which I intend to use for overnight hikes.  It went up really quickly.  I’m still working out the kinks in what I need and where it is located in the car – which bin, backpack, suitcase/duffle bag.  Hopefully, I’ll get it down before my first real expedition at Guadeloupe National Park.

Now, if only I can get over this cold and cough. Lumberton is much warmer than New Orleans.

My big decision to night is whether I will eat Chili Mac with Beef or Three Cheese Mac & Cheese.  Dehydrated, of course!

 

22 March 2018

New Orleans is in the Central Time Zone.  I’m waking up in the Eastern Time Zone.  Four-thirty is too early to wake up in the CDT zone.  Fortunately, I got a good nights sleep even if it were only 6 hours.

After the complimentary breakfast on the 7th floor (nothing to brag about for a Hilton hotel) Archie, Tanis and I hopped the Saint Charles Avenue Streetcar.  You can ride the entire line for $1.25 or all day for $3.00 per person.  The streetcar takes you through the Garden District, by Loyola University, Tulane University, the New Orleans zoo and the famous Camelia Grill.

Maybe I have forgotten how friendly the people in the south are, but everyone seemed to strike up a conversation while riding the streetcar.  It helps that my brother has never met a stranger.  There were some interesting conversations.  In particular, a lady from Memphis sat down next to me and told me she had visited the WWII museum with her daughter.  That led to a conversation about war in general and the Viet Nam war in particular. She started the conversation about Viet Nam by asking if I knew of any Viet Nam museums.  I told her no, only Viet Nam memorials.   I recommended to her the PBS series on Vietnam as I thought it gave a very balanced view of the war from both sides.  She had not heard of the series and promised to look at it.

Since my days of riding the streetcar, they’ve changed their end-of-line procedure and disembark passengers before the end point and now have you re-board a little later after the car returns.

It used to take you to the end of the line, have everyone vacate the streetcar and the conductor would go through the car and flip the seat direction.  Then you would re-embark.

On the return trip we got off at Canal Street.  Canal Street, of course, was once a canal bisecting the city but is probably more famous these days for the big Mardi Gras parades of several krewes.

From there, we walked into the French Quarter and eventually found a nice bar, The Chart House, on, appropriately, Chartres Street. After a rest from walking, we headed to Mr. Ed’s Seafood House on Bienville, literally across the street and down 3/4 of the way from The Chart House.  Archie and Tanis shared a seafood platter and I opted for “A Taste of New Orleans” with jambalaya, red beans and rice and crawfish étouffée.  The jambalaya was a little fishy for my taste but the other two were excellent.

It was at Mr. Ed’s that I found the most unique urinal I have ever seen.  Someone took a beer keg and turned it into a quite functional urinal that auto flushed. I propose all urinals look like the one shown below instead of the sterile porcelain ones we see today. It seems more appropriate in a bar environment in any case.

We used Uber for the second time since our visit began and made it back to the hotel where we all three decided we needed a nap.  I realized that I had lost one of the key cards to my room, so when I awoke from the nap, I headed to the front desk and had that key card cancelled and two new ones made for my room.  All I needed was for someone to find the key card with my room number and the hotel to find it and come enter the room while I am gone.

Tonight, Tanis and Archie treated me to dinner at the Redfish Grill on Bourbon.  It has been voted best seafood restaurant in New Orleans for 2 years in a row.  They had seafood and I had roast chicken.  I can’t vouch for theirs but mine was delicious.

We headed back to the hotel after dinner.  I think Archie and Tanis were fading fast and I have the beginnings of a cold – scratchy throat, runny nose, etc.

Tomorrow I say goodbye to Tanis and Archie and head out to Village Creek State Park in Lumberton, Texas for a single night of camping.  After that, I head for a single day visit with my cousin Jo in San Antonio.  Once I leave San Antonio, I begin my National Parks tour.

20 March 2018

The day started around 6 am and if you believe in omens, it started ominously.  I was getting a glass of water at my bedside and managed to spill it on my iPhone.  Fortunately, the phone still works.  I packed the car the night before and it is pretty amazing what the Thule cargo box will hold.  It is rated for 168 lbs but I suspect I packed it only with around 140.  The jeep is totally stuffed but at least I can see out the back window so the cargo box was worth the investment.

I pulled out of the driveway at 8:45 am and headed for the Florida Turnpike.  Just north of the Coconut Creek exit, traffic started slowing.  Then it stopped.  Dead. Still.  It eventually began to crawl and then stop again.  As you might guess – no accident – no FHP – no reason for the slowing and stoppage.  Around Jupiter, it picked up and then cars started getting pulled over by FHP which slowed it again.

Once I got past Jupiter, the pace accelerated and I cruised to Orlando without any problem.  Once on I75, I was surprised at the lack of traffic.  It was busy but not nearly as busy and on Mondays that I typically travel I75.  Around Lake City, the skies opened and everyone was caught in a deluge.  My Sirius even broadcast two thunderstorm warnings.

Caverta Tablets – Ranbaxy Laboratories buy viagra overnight brought Caverta tablets by using sildenafil citrate 100mg.
I was curious as to how the cargo box would affect mileage of the jeep.  Normally, when on interstate or turnpike, the jeep averages 31 mpg.  When I first got up to 70 mph on the Florida Turnpike, the mileage dropped to 29.  Not bad.  However, the winds picked up along the Turnpike and I found the mileage eventually dropped to 29.  I guess the cargo box decreases the mileage anywhere from 2 to 5 mpg depending on the winds. I can live with that.

As I got to Tallahassee, there were wind warnings in effect, so I suspect if they don’t die down tonight, I’ll be pulling 29 mpg again.

Some sage once said a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.  The sage obviously never tried to get out of the state of Florida.  After 7 hours and 17 minutes of driving and covering 459 miles, I checked into Country Inn and Suites off exit 199.

Tomorrow is around a six hour drive to New Orleans to meet my brother and his wife.  They were originally going to take the train from Jackson, MS but flooding of the Mississippi has closed the tracks between Jackson and New Orleans so they opted for a bus ride. Dinner tomorrow night is at Arnaud’s. 

On March 20, I begin an 81 day cross country trip to visit 21 national parks which will complete my goal of visiting all the national parks within the contiguous U.S. You never know what the journey may bring or even if you finish the journey but I intend to do my best.  It’s a big, wonderful country out there and the national parks represent the best of the best of this country.

Below you will find my itinerary.  I invite you to meet me somewhere along the way en route.  For those of you into camping, I have a tent big enough for eight people (theoretically, at least).  Bring a sleeping pad and a sleeping bag and hiking boots.
