I Slept at Guadalupe Mountain (Sort Of)!
It’s the highest peak in all of Texas.
10,000-some odd feet. I didn’t climb it.
Sunset from the campground.
I think Guadalupe Mountain is probably best known for being an NPS campground pretty near Carlsbad Caverns. And the campground was really just a parking lot — charmless, but flat. And about 2 AM the wind started howling. At 5, I gave up on sleeping and pulled up stakes. Not literally — I slept in the back of the truck. Then I drove to Carlsbad and got a sausage egg McMuffin. Are you supposed to capitalize “sausage egg”?
And FWIW, I don’t think the government uses consistent criteria to determine which areas should be “National Parks”. Guadalupe Mountain, Carlsbad Caverns, and probably Mammoth Cave should all be National Monuments, not Parks. At least according to their stated criteria. Oh well.

The 48-state roadtrip has been a voyage of discovery for you. Like all good voyages of that type, it opens new questions, too. For example, does one capitalize “sausage egg” when referring to a McMuffin(Registered Trademark).
I hope all readers and viewers are learning as much as I am from this site.
Should 48-state road trip have anyy capitalization?
No, but “any” only has one “y”.
B, hope to see you for Thanksgiving.
