If you are going to Carlsbad Caverns, you may want to check out the tours they offer. https://www.nps.gov/cave/planyourvisit/cave_tours.htm You can book them up to 2 days before you get there, or show up 1st thing in the morning and hope they still have open spots. It is really nice to see things that most visitors don't get to see. Tom

I'm hoping the middle of the week and the off season will work in our favor. I will try to better gauge our travel progress and keep the reservation option open as we work our way west.
