America is beautiful. And that beauty can sometimes take the form of a haunting, unearthly landscape like the Carlsbad Caverns. There are miles and miles of passageways at the caverns, but I toured the two main areas---Natural Entrance and the Big Room---that don't require squeezing through a crawlspace or rappelling down a rock face in pitch black.

| Natural Entrance to the caverns. Sometimes you can see thousands of bats fly out of the cave at dusk. Smells like bat poo. |

| The Devil's Spring |
 |
| Rock of Ages |

The Giants

The caverns are easily accessible. You can take an elevator to the bottom if you don't want to hike. There's even a gift shop and restaurant down in the depths. And many years ago, people used to hold wedding ceremonies down in the caverns!
Saddle up. Onwards to Austin TX!
So hauntingly beautiful....karaoke.
