Carlsbad is just 100-150 miles from where we are, 50-60 miles East of El Paso, TX. in the Big Empty love it out here. Anyway been to The Caverns many times over the years, heard about the non-park maintained Caverns were available for limited Tours so I reserved a couple. I was I guess 35-36 at the time single and ready for some Spelunking. No trails or paths a rope to get you into the Caverns and one ranger to guide you back to the beginning of time, it was Awesome and a little scary the deeper you got. Only everybody's flashlights for lights, non park maintained right, I fell a lot looking up and around instead of watching my feet but man it was cool.

Remember...No matter where you go there you are
