Photos from a December 2022 solo road trip from Minnesota to NM/TX to visit White Sands, Guadalupe Mountains, and Carlsbad Caverns National Parks. Caves are probably my favorite geologic feature to see and the expansiveness of Carlsbad caverns blew my mind. Photos will never do it justice, but I think with the walkway in the foreground, some of these pictures give you a feel! I felt like Owen Wilson because every time I came around a corner all I could say was "wow"! 🤣

Hot springs is pretty low on my list out of the 32 parks I've been to. It's a little too urban for me. I will say it is unique and has a lot of beauty despite this. It is the only national park with a brewery inside it and it is the only brewery that uses hot springs water to brew.

Hey all! I'm looking at getting a cargo box for my roof rack. I have a 2023 ORP with factory cross bars. I'm looking at a box from Thule and Yakima that are similar but having a hard time researching and finding conflicting info on if these are compatible with the factory crossbars. Anybody in here have personal experience with either of these (or similar) boxes and factory crossbars? Looking to avoid rubbing on my roof and concerned about clearance of the box fasteners.
