Still loved the cave tour and we took one of the smaller cave tours where you had to climb with a rope and it is a good thing we did that then. We've aged out of that experience. But we have our memories! We actually loved everything about New Mexico. Everything.<br /><br />Same experience as you at Guadalupe.... too much to take in in a lifetime let alone the time available. <br /><br />It sure is big country out there isn't it!! <br /><br />Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-26818825812973014602017-06-02T15:47:06.512-04:002017-06-02T15:47:06.512-04:00I see bats fly around my yard at dusk, like you sa...I see bats fly around my yard at dusk, like you say 2 or 3, never have I ever seen that many bats at one time!! And they are large bats. I was disappointed no photos but I sure can understand they don't want to interfere with the bats.Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-38678030257802289842017-06-02T15:39:21.668-04:002017-06-02T15:39:21.668-04:00The bats were awesome!!

The senior price for day is $4. $8 for others...there was water pumps around and one flush toilet, that's it. It is considered primitive camping.

You would enjoy a tour of the caverns, If I could of found decent camping close by I would have signed up for the guided tour in the afternoon. I guess the thing to do is reserve a hotel, or stay in the RV park.

I bet the bats were amazing, I get excited seeing the 2 or 3 that fly around my garden I can't imagine what that many must have been like!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16453290738987000802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-87154201147085399412017-06-02T02:42:44.916-04:002017-06-02T02:42:44.916-04:00I have watched a TV documentary on those caverns a...I have watched a TV documentary on those caverns and the bats, it is spectacular. It must have been thrilling to see it live. I sounded like a good idea to go to Walmart to camp probably easier with all the facilities. I'm amazed at how cheap the campsites are $4 [£3] do you get any facilities for that, water / toilet? Ill be interested in your total mileage when the trip is over.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01047342243577979820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569287982426382052.post-58151495540678740722017-06-01T23:53:13.928-04:002017-06-01T23:53:13.928-04:00Going to have to say I love the Carlsbad area.

I have a friend who lives in Carlsbad and I know they get lots of snow in winter. Sitting Bull Falls is also a treat. This trip just keeps getting better with each postJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658713978278693047noreply@blogger.com
