Carlsbad Caverns National Park Visitor Center

FDR's Civilian Conservation Corps built these places for park workers at taxpayer expense in the early 40's. Hmmmm. Sounds like socialism to me.

The obligatory photo of JD in front of the sign. Hi there! Photo by Mrs. JD.

Seating for bat-watching just outside the cavern entrance

Birds, not bats, hanging out at the entrance

Looks like these folks are gonna brave going in.

Anybody wanna climbed down this 90-foot rope ladder with broken rungs. Supposedly designed and built by a guy named Jim White, presumably not the DJ from WIXO and WRNO

Looks like flowing water, but it's glossy rock

Ok, we're done. Let's get outta here!
