Carlsbad Caverns 12-6-07



EJ had suggested that we see Carlsbad Caverns and I glad we did. It is one of the best that we have seen. It's not the biggest or the deepest, nor the longest. But it has more formations than any other cave we've been in. The picture to the left shows us at the entrance to the cave.
During the summer over 100,000 bats fly out of here at night in search of food. The trails we took today were about 2.8 miles long and as deep as 750 feet. We stopped and gawked alot so it took us 4 hours to go through. We only saw about half of what was open to the public. The parts we didn't get to see were available only by guided tour. That didn't fit with our schedule so we opted for the self guided tours.
We're staying at the Carlsbad RV Park near downtown Carlsbad tonight. We actually have a cable connection and WiFi at the campsite. We got to see a weather forecast and of course update RoadNotes.
