Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Great photos, SH. What a wonderful ecosystem and an important source of saltpeter for gun powder! Thanks for taking us along.

We spent a few days in Carlsbad a couple years ago on our way to Texas. We optioned to take the elevator both up and down after we found out how many stories deep it was. Over 70.

Very spectacular! My Wife kept looking for Orks and stayed really close to me.

The town itself was interesting as well with some pretty good places to eat. We parked our RV in a campground right in town.
