Arrg, man - I am so far behind - I keep taking too many panoramas! Well, I'm going to mostly punt on this one. We went to Carlsbad Caverns, and it was really beautiful. I spent 5 hours underground (up to 800 ft down!). Perhaps even cooler was the bat flight. Hundreds of thousands of bats live in the cave in the spring/summer, and at sundown, they come flying out. We were lucky to witness one of the larger bat flights, estimated at 100,000 bats! They exhibit funny flocking behavior that was fascinating to watch. Here are the pics:
Also - don't stay at White's City campground, unless you have an RV or are ready for pretty much a primitive camping experience. The pool was locked, the bathrooms trashed, and for some reason, there was old underwear in the men's shower. I think I would have rather had a pit toilet than be tip-toeing in that pig sty. Oh yeah, and get your stuff out of the way! - they water the pitiful grass field beginning at 8am! Terrible.

glad you had a rockstar time at Carlsbad, but sorry to hear about the crappy campground...it was one of the reasons I stayed in Roswell...that and the UFO museum.
