Carlsbad Caverns

Today we drove down to White's City, NM where the Carlsbad Caverns are located. It's a national park with the largest cave in the western hemisphere. It really is massive. It's 750 feet underground, and it's a mile trail down to the bottom and then a mile around the inside. They have an elevator that takes 56 seconds to go up or down. Pretty much we just walked around going ooo and ahhh.





















We stayed to watch all of the bats fly out at 7:30, but there was a thunder storm so it was cancelled and the warden made us leave.

We went to Dennys for dinner, and it was raining so much that the towns were flooding.


It took us until 3am to get back here to the camper. (for those of you paying attention that's 5am eastern time). We were crazy tired and all crashed. :)

Those pics are very cool. Please tell me the women's room wasn't in the dark. And one more thing... How did the bats know their flights were canceled??

The women's room was in the next picture.. all full of light.. haha.

We wondered the same thing about the bats, but the warden said they don't always come out together in the rain, and he asked everyone to leave because of the lightening.. so we left.
