ANOTHER NATIONAL PARK!




I have visited several caves across the United States - Mammoth Cave, Ky., The Lost Sea, Tennessee, and Ruby Falls, Tennessee, but none compare to Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico.  

As I mentioned earlier, I have gotten pictures of National Parks across the country, and this is my second in the series.

Carlsbad Caverns National Park is a United States National Park in the Guadalupe Mountains in southeastern New Mexico. The primary attraction of the park is the show cave, Carlsbad Cavern. Carlsbad Caverns National Park is open every day of the year except Christmas Day. Visitors to the cave can hike in on their own via the natural entrance or take an elevator from the visitor center.


The limestone rock that holds Carlsbad Cavern is full of ocean fossil plants and animals from a time before the dinosaurs when the southeastern corner of New Mexico was a coastline similar to the Florida Keys.




Needless to say, the sights you see there are beyond awesome!

Rain expected for us today and the only thing on my schedule is church tonight.  So, I wish you a nice day and leave you with some blonde MEN jokes for a change!
    Two blonde men find three grenades, and they decide to take them to a police station.
   One asked: "What if one explodes before we get there?"
   The other says: "We'll lie and say we only found two." 

   A blonde man is in the bathroom and his wife shouts:  "Did you find the shampoo?"
   He answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do... it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine." 

   A blonde man goes to the vet with his goldfish.
  "I think it's got epilepsy," he tells the vet.
  The vet takes a look and says, "It seems calm enough to me."
  The blonde man says, "Wait, I haven't taken it out of the bowl yet." 

  A blonde man spies a letter lying on his doormat.
  It says on the envelope "DO NOT BEND".
  He spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick it up.  

   A blonde man shouts frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart!"
  "Is this her first child?" asks the Doctor.
  "No!" he shouts, "this is her husband!"  

  A blonde man was driving home, drunk as a skunk.  Suddenly he has to swerve to avoid a tree, then another, then another.
  A cop car pulls him over, so he tells the cop about all the trees in the road.
  The cop says, "That's your air freshener swinging about!"  

  A blonde man's dog goes missing and he is frantic.  His wife says "Why don't you put an ad in the paper?"
  He does, but two weeks later the dog is still missing.
  "What did you put in the paper?" his wife asks.
  "Here boy!" he replies.  

   A blonde man is in jail.  The guard looks in his cell and sees him hanging by his feet.
  "Just WHAT are you doing?" he asks.
  "Hanging myself," the blonde replies.
  "The rope should be around your neck" says the guard.
  "I tried that," he replies, "but then I couldn't breathe."

  1. Only one I've ever been to is Ohio Caverns. I don't care much for walking into caves.

    Loved the blonde jokes, I received them from someone, can't remember who and saved them to use one day on my blog. They are pretty funny and usually they are about blonde women, nice to see some about men for a change. Looks hazy here this morning, like rain is comings

  3. As a blonde, I am always happy to have the punch line turned around a bit!! LOL

    What a beautiful cavern! I haven't visited any caves or caverns since I was a teenager. Not sure my knees could handle it now, but I remember the beauty and the chill!!

    Hope the rain holds off until you get home from church!

  6. I was reading the jokes and laughing when Hubby came in the room, asked what's so funny. I loved them. He grunted. LOL ** The pictures of Carlsbad are beautiful. The formations always amaze me. I've only been in one cavern, Ohio Caverns, and I got claustrophobic when our stupid guide turned out the lights. No joke. I couldn't breath. ** I hope that rain holds off until you get home from church. ♥
